It is this fate, i solemnly assure you, that i dread for you, when the time comes that you make your reckoning, and realize that there is no longer anything that can be done. may you never find yourselves, men of athens, in such a position! yet in any case, it were better to die ten thousand deaths, than to do anything out of servility towards philip [or to sacrifice any of those who speak for your good]. a noble recompense did the people in oreus receive, for entrusting themselves to philip’s friends, and thrusting euphraeus aside! and a noble recompense the democracy of eretria, for driving away your envoys, and surrendering to cleitarchus! they are slaves, scourged and butchered! a noble clemency did he show to the olynthians, who elected lasthenes to command the cavalry, and banished apollonides! it is folly, and it is cowardice, to cherish hopes like these, to give way to evil counsels, to refuse to do anything that you should do, to listen to the advocates of the enemy’s cause, and to fancy that you dwell in so great a city that, whatever happens, you will not suffer any harm.

Read the passage from sugar changed the world. sugar is different from honey. it offers a stronger sweet flavor, and like steel or plastic, it had to be invented. in the age of sugar, europeans bought a product made thousands of miles away that was less expensive than the honey from down the road. that was possible only because sugar set people in motion all across the world—millions of them as slaves, in chains; a few in search of their fortunes. a perfect taste made possible by the most brutal labor: that is the dark story of sugar. how does the comparison of sugar to honey reveal the authors’ purpose? it persuades readers that sugar tastes better than honey. it informs readers that there is a connection between slavery and sugar. it informs readers that honey had a major impact on society. it persuades readers that sugar is as important an invention as steel.
