How does American literature reflect and influence American society?

Please no links, and the answer doesn't have to be perfect, just whatever you think. Well, I mean, it doesn't have to be PERFECT, but it shouldn't be like "Hi my name is Little Timmy, I like dogs" or something. Keep it shut, Little Timmy! (¬_¬") lol

Literature has had a major impact on the development of society. It has shaped civilisations, changed political systems and exposed injustice.

hope it helps.

in what way is " Beasts of England " a national anthem for the animals

by Maria Baraza

You've probably seen it before. Someone is giving a speech, and another person stands near the speaker, mouthing the speaker's words for people who can read lips. In a graceful dance, his or her arms and hands visually repeat the speaker's words in signs. If the speech is broadcast on television, the signer is sometimes shown in a window at the corner of the screen. Audience members who are hard of hearing or deaf can understand the speech through the signs.

Deaf or hard-of-hearing people could also read the text of the speech, but it might not be available in writing. Besides, signing offers many advantages that reading cannot. Seeing the speaker, even if his or her words cannot be heard, can be important. The audience can observe the speaker's facial expressions and body language, which can change the meaning of the spoken words. The signer will often attempt to convey the speaker's tone or precise meaning with facial expressions that accompany the signs. For instance, when the speaker asks a question instead of making a statement, signers will raise their eyebrows, widen their eyes, and tilt their bodies forward to convey that what they are signing is a question.

Many different sign languages are used around the world. In the United States, most people use a system called American Sign Language (ASL). ASL is a complex, complete language, just like spoken English. ASL even has different "pronunciations" for certain words in different regions of the country. In ASL, some signs represent specific words. Touching one's fingers to the brim of an imaginary cap means "man." The sign was created when most men wore hats and would tip their hats when greeting someone.

However, most of ASL is based more on ideas than on words. For example, a person might hold both thumbs and index fingers at right angles and move both hands and arms apart. The person is indicating "big" or "large." The same sign would be used for a big man, a large amount of money, or a serious problem. When a person strokes an imaginary beard by moving a loose fist down from the chin, he or she is indicating "old." That same sign could describe an elderly person, an old car, or a story from long ago.

Many people believe in "total communication," which means saying words and signing them at the same time. A person might have only partial hearing loss, so he or she could hear some of the sounds the speaker makes. The speaker's lip movements, voice, signs, and facial expressions are like pieces of a puzzle. The theory is that total communication provides every possible means to get an idea across.


6


Not every word or idea in English has a sign. Proper names and other words that have no signs are often spelled out with the sign alphabet. Sometimes the letters of the sign alphabet are used as words. For example, the sign for T and the sign for V together mean "television." Just like "TV" spoken aloud, the two sign letters indicate the word. In other cases, the full name of a person or thing is spelled out because there is no simple way to communicate it. If a person's name is Tina, she could use the signs for T-I-N-A.

If you are not hard of hearing, why would you bother to learn sign language? For one thing, it will allow you to communicate with people who are hard of hearing or deaf. You can translate for them, helping them to understand others and be understood. Many people choose to make ASL translation their career. On an individual level, learning ASL will also help in forming friendships with deaf or hard-of-hearing people.


8


Sign language can be useful for other reasons, even among hearing people. You might be too far away to hear someone, but not too far away to see the person. A couple of gestures can send an important message. Suppose you are in a situation in which you couldn't speak out loud, like in a theater. You might want to send a message to a friend who is not right next to you. It would be rude to shout while the performance is going on, but you could always send a sign message. Sign language can benefit people who are deaf, partially deaf, or hearing.

What point of view does Lincoln express in this excerpt from the Gettysburg Address?
But in a larger sense we can not dedicate - we can not consecrate - we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who
struggled here, have consecrated it far above our power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here,
but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought
here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us; that from these
honoured dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve
that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the
people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from this earth.

Which statement best summarizes the conflict in this
passage?
45
BRUTUS. Cassius,
Be not deceived. If I have veiled my look,
I turn the trouble of my countenance
Merely upon myself. Vexèd I am
Of late with passions of some difference,
Conceptions only proper to myself,
Which give some soil, perhaps, to my behaviours.
But let not therefore my good friends be grieved
Among which number, Cassius, be you one
Nor construe any further my neglect
Than that poor Brutus, with himself at war,
Forgets the shows of love to other men.
O Brutus betrayed Cassius, and now Cassius is angry
with him.
O Cassius offends Brutus by saying that he does not
like the way Brutus looks.
O While Cassius and others have noticed a difference in
Brutus, Brutus explains that his actions are not
because of anything they have done. It is only
because Brutus is struggling within himself and has let
it unfairly impact how he treats others.
O Brutus clarifies that Cassius is his closest friend.
