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. who is being described in the passage above? emperor of lilliput gulliver reldresal flimnap

Emperor of Lilliput.

Explanation: in the passage it is described the Emperor of Lilliput, we can know that because it describes a man who is taller by almost the breadth of a nail (The people in Lilliput were very small, just about 6 inches), also because it says that he has reigned for seven years, another clue is that his sword was just three inches long (again pointing out his size).

i would like to compare these two interpretations of the crucible : 1) eric christ's interretation and wade bradford's interpretation. the main differences between there interretaions is that in the first one you can notice direct link to joseph mccarthy whereas the second one represents how the town is filled with hysteria.the second interpretation shows that author believes that the story   about puritan town in salem is based on actual events while the first example shows the sencible reference to sort of bias.
