Read the excerpt below and answer the question.
Some persons of a desponding spirit are in great concern about that vast number of poor people, who are aged, diseased, or maimed; and I have been desired to employ my thoughts what course may be taken, to ease the nation of so grievous an incumbrance. But I am not in the least pain upon that matter, because it is very well known, that they are every day dying, and rotting, by cold and famine, and filth, and vermin, as fast as can be reasonably expected. ("A Modest Proposal"; paragraph 19)
In this quote, and in the entire essay, what is Swift saying about the view and value of personhood in his society? Is there any relevance today? Who do we deem "less worthy"? Why? Your answer should be at least 250 words.
Answer:
Swift's piece is worth reading only for its reflection on his society's awareness of and respect for human personhood, and it is well worth your time to do so. It is suggested by the author of this article that poor Irish families should sell their children to affluent English families so that they might be eaten by the latter family. Through his writing, Swift is aiming to convey the impression that people consider destitute and Irish people's lives to be less meaningful than the lives of affluent English people, despite the fact that the claim is ridiculous.
Individuals in his culture are prevented from respecting all lives on an equal basis as a result of the way they were raised by this kind of bigotry. Despite its age, this article is as relevant now as it was when it was originally written. Although we are well aware that certain people are less worthy of our time, attention, and support than others, we continue to believe that they are so despite the fact that we know better.
In contrast to the hundreds of people who die every day as a consequence of war or poverty in other nations, we are indifferent to the deaths of celebrities. People from poorer financial backgrounds, older age groups, and immigrants are often seen as "less deserving" in our culture, which is often the result of racial discrimination in our society. Cultural values promulgated by the media, such as the celebration and adoration of very wealthy people, are other elements that influence this viewpoint.

Explanation:
Which statement best describes how these lines reflect the theme of the poem? They indicate that Whitman is more interested in communicating with individuals than society. They show Whitman’s sociability and his interest in human nature. They reflect Whitman’s desire to share his love of the wilderness. They suggest that Whitman views all individuals as equals who should communicate with each other as such.
The lines indicate that Whitman is more interested in communicating with individuals than with society, as shown in the first answer option.
We can arrive at this answer because:
The lines show how the poet is not interested in large crowds and does not wish to establish anything that attracts them.That's because contact with these crowds is impersonal and doesn't go deep.However, the poet is interested in contacting individuals, as he wishes to take every man and woman on a hill walk.This is because the poet likes the deep, and specific contact that can only be established through personal contact between individuals.
This question refers to the poem "Song of Myself," and the lines that the question refers to are in the image below.

Explanation:
If there was no conflict would there be a story to tell? What do you think?
Answer:
See below!
Explanation:
This is just my opinion, but assuming that you need a paragraph or so, I wrote out a full answer for you :)
I think that without a conflict, there is no story to tell. I believe this because the reason a story is a story, is because there is a reason for it's telling. Whether it is for entertianment, enrichment, or learning opportunities, a story has to have some kind of meaning for itself, and, in my opinion, this meaning is played through the conflict.
The conflict doesn't always have to be dramatic, or even be present(it can be past, or future), but without conflict, there is no meat in a story.
Of course, I can write a story without conflict. I can write a story about anything, for that matter. However, the prompt is asking if there would be a story to tell without a conflict, and I think there wouldn't be.
Education and learning moments aside, a story without conflict won't entertaining either! Without a conflict, there will be no rising action, falling action, or conclusion, which leaves nothing to a story!
Everyone's interpretation of what a "conflict" is can be different, but, in my opinion, there is no story to tell without a conflict involved.
