For my own part, i consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery…

ask yourselves how this gracious reception of our petition comports with these war-like preparations which cover our waters and darken our land. are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and , sir….they are sent over to bind and rivet upon us those chains which the british ministry have been so long forging.

…shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs, and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? …if we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. there is no retreat but in submission and slavery! our chains are forged! their clanking may be heard on the plains of boston!

is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? forbid it, almighty god! i know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

write a paragraph in which you explain how patrick henry uses, repeats, and refines the meanings of the words chains and slavery to support his argument.

In this excerpt from "dover beach" by matthew arnold, which two lines or sets of lines suggest that the speaker has undergone a loss of faith? the sea of faith was once, too, at the full, and round earth's shore lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled. but now i only hear its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar, retreating, to the breath of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear and naked shingles of the world. ah, love, let us be true to one another! for the world, which seems to lie before us like a land of dreams, so various, so beautiful, so new, hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light, nor certitude, nor peace, nor for pain; and we are here as on a darkling plain swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight, where ignorant armies clash by night.
