pericles speaks on democracy
according to pericles, how is athens different from
other greek city states?
our constitution does not copy the laws of neighbouring
states; we are rather a pattern to others than imitators
ourselves. its administration favors the many instead of
the few, this is why it is called a democracy. if we look to
the laws, they afford equal justice to all in their private
class considerations not being allowed to
interfere with merit; nor again does poverty bar the way,
if a man is able to serve the state, he is not hindered by
the obscurity of his condition.

Returning from vietnam, we were indeed given a parade. crowds of screaming people waving signs — not just on one road, one day. no, they were everywhere. every day. on the streets, on the television, on the radio. a hot, angry tangle of shaking fists and ugly words that threatened us like a monster with a hundred heads. our country had chewed us up and spit us out, and now we were being treated as if it were our fault. what is one way the author's use of language contributes to the tone of this passage? a. the use of figurative language creates a feeling of resentment. b. the phrase "hot, angry tangle" is used sarcastically to create irony. c. the word "parade" is used sarcastically to create a lighthearted mood. d. the parallelism draws attention to the confusion of those returning.
