. . . when in the wrought chest the wind blowing over and the sea heaving struck her [Danae] with fear, her cheeks not dry, she put her arm over Perseus and spoke: My child such trouble I have. And you sleep, your heart is placid; you dream in the joyless wood; in the night nailed in bronze, in the blue dark you lie still and shine. The salt water that towers above your head as the wave goes by you heed not, nor the wind’s voice; you press your bright face to the red blanket. If this danger were danger to you, your small ear would attend my words. But I tell you, Sleep, my baby, and let the sea sleep, let our trouble sleep . . .” —Simonides, Greek poet, as quoted in A Soaring Spirit: Time Frame 600–400 B.C.

1. What does Malcolm X think the goal of any revolution should be?

2. How does Malcolm X justify violence as a means for black Americans to improve themselves?

3. According to Malcolm X, what is the difference between a “Negro” revolution and a “black” revolution?

4. According to Malcolm X, what are “Uncle Toms” and how do they slow progress for blacks in America?

Answers

Answer:

1. It's based on land. A revolutionary wants land so he can set up his own nation, an independent nation. These Negroes aren't asking for no nation.

2. Malcolm X believed Uncle Toms were black people that were very obedient to white people or used by the white man to keep other blacks “in check”. He stated "Just as the slavemaster in that day used Uncle Tom to keep the field negroes in check, he was the same old slavemaster who today has negroes who are nothing but modern Uncle Toms - 20th-century Uncle Toms - to keep you and me in check." He believed Uncle Toms slowed progress for blacks in America due to the fact of integration. Malcolm X believed that blacks and whites should stay away from each other and not integrate as he stated “You don't integrate with a sinking ship." So Malcolm X saw it as if blacks were integrating with whites then no progress will be made due to the fact that black separatism (blacks creating separate institutions / not integrating) was not being practiced.

Some Ideologies of Malcolm X

Malcom X was one of the Revolutionary fighters in America.

He believed that the end justified the means in any action a person undertakes.

Malcom X believed that the goal of any Revolution should be the acquisition of more land. He cited the American Revolution as a great example. Malcom X believed that the rights of black Americans should be secured using any available means. These means may well include the use of violence.Malcom X cited that the difference between black Revolution and Negro revolution was that black revolution which was occurring in Africa at that time involved land and bloodshed whereas people in America thought they could achieve a non violent revolution.Malcom X described docile black Americans who were willing and ready to do the bidding of whites as uncle Toms. He believed that as long as there are uncle Tom's, it would be difficult to fully liberate black americans.

Which excerpt from "1859 Autobiographical Statement for the Chester County Times” is an example of Lincoln’s sarcasm?

"My parents were both born in Virginia, of undistinguished families-second families, perhaps I should say."
“I was raised to farm work, which I continued till I was twenty two. At twenty one I came to Illinois, and passed the first year in Illinois-Macon county.”
“I was losing interest in politics, when the repeal of the Missouri Compromise aroused me again. What I have done since then is pretty well known.”

Answers

Answer: "My parents were both born in Virginia, of undistinguished families-second families, perhaps I should say." I think this could be considered sarcasm but I'm not entirely sure

Explanation:

The reason why i think this is because he says "of undistinguished families-second families, perhaps I should say." and that could be a phrase used when one is making a sarcastic remark.

An example of Lincoln’s sarcasm is “I was losing interest in politics, when the repeal of the Missouri Compromise me again. What I have done since then is pretty well known.” The correct option is (D).

What is the main idea behind Lincoln's speech?

A house divided against itself cannot stand, which was Lincoln's main caution, was full of moral meaning. The safety of the family residing in a house depends on its physical foundation.

Lincoln suggested that the Union should be built on a solid moral basis: a commitment to equality.

In a two-year period, Abraham Lincoln wrote three memoirs. Charles layman , who was preparing the Dictionary of Congress, asked that this initial, succinct effort be made.

Therefore, from "1859 Autobiographical Statement for the Chester County Times” an example of Lincoln’s sarcasm is “I was losing interest in politics, when the repeal of the Missouri Compromise me again. What I have done since then is pretty well known.”

Can someone plz write a letter to a friend about the Siege of Tyre from the point of view of a citizen?

I'm giving 40 points, so please don't waste them! Need by Sunday, February 4th.

Answers

Answer:

Most of the material involved in constructing a massive earthen project like this involves a stone base with dirt and earth more or less used as filler. Massive wooden stakes are also used to support the structure. If a structure was made totally of dirt in the water, it would collapse upon the weight of men and siege towers. Waves would also easily erode it.

To accomplish the construction of this project, Alexander sent his soldiers into the woods of Lebanon to cut down trees to get the necessary supplies. The cedars in Phoenicia were very famous in ancient times so Alexander's men chopped down the trees and hauled them back to their camp. They sharpened one end of the tree and pounded it into the sand like a giant tent spike. This would protect the sides of their dam. While some soldiers pounded the giant trees into the ground, others were demolishing the ruins of the land based city of Tyre and bringing them to the shore to be dumped into the sea.

The people of Tyre did not really notice what was going on at first, as they may have simply thought Alexander was building beach fortifications. They never thought he would build an earthen bridge to them. However, soon it became apparent as to what Alexander and his army were doing and the people of Tyre became rightly alarmed. As the earthen structure began to grow in size day after day after day the people of Tyre began really mounting their defense. The people of Tyre began building anti-siege weaponry on their massive 150 foot walls that would fling massive stones and darts at the incoming Greeks. They also sent some of their agents ashore to make diplomatic alliances with several neighboring tribes. The people of Tyre had great wealth and if they survived, these tribes would be greatly rewarded.

So Tyre tasked these tribes with disrupting the gathering of resource efforts by Alexander's army. Tyre also landed a small contingent of its own men on the shore and tried to repel the stone gathering operation at the ancient ruins of Tyre. Having a considerable navy with their manned war galleys that protected their merchants from pirates, Tyre decided to respond even further. The war galleys rode right up to the construction side of the earthen dam walkway and bombarded the crew with all sorts of arrows and projectiles. While the first offense of Tyre slowly impeded Alexander's efforts, ultimately what they did was in vain. Alexander resumed his construction efforts right away and began building defensive structures around the camps. Alexander and his army built huge screens of wood and covered them with animal hides to protect them from any projectiles launched while they were working.

As the work advanced more defensive structures were built, especially at the sides and the front facing the city. These structures consisted partially of the great siege engines required for driving the massive wooden piles into the sea, along with catapults for throwing massive stones. Soldiers would also be able to throw stones, darts and shoot the galleys with bows and arrows from these siege towers which prevented them from getting too close to the workers.
