he is taller by almost the breadth of my nail, than any of his court, which alone is enough to strike an awe into the beholders. his features are strong and masculine, with an austrian lip and arched nose, his complexion olive, his countenance erect, his body and limbs well proportioned, all his motions graceful, and his deportment majestic. he was then past his prime, being twenty-eight years and three-quarters old, of which he had reigned about seven in great felicity and generally victorious. . he held his sword drawn in his hand to defend himself, if i should happen to break loose: it was almost three inches long; the hilt and scabbard were gold enriched with diamonds. his voice was shrill, but very clear and articulate, and i could distinctly hear it when i stood up.

Emperor of Lilliput

Explanation:

The person being described in this excerpt is the emperor of Lilliput. We know this based on the descriptions that Gulliver provides. He tells us that the person he is describing is tall. However, we learn that he is still no taller than a few inches, which indicates that he is an inhabitant of Lilliput. However, this Lilliputian was impressive and commanding, and he has been ruling for many years, which indicates that he is the emperor.

dear miss layla

while looking through books for my class period i noticed the library cards in the books.most of them are torn or have no space to write out our names anymore.would we be able to replace them?

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
