Paraphrase the following passage. Include an introductory tag and an in-text citation, and be careful not to plagiarize. "Every age has its own outlook. It is specially good at seeing certain truths and specially liable to make certain mistakes. We all, therefore, need the books that will correct the characteristic mistakes of our own period. And that means the old books . . . "None of us can fully escape this blindness, but we shall certainly increase it, and weaken our guard against it, if we read only modern books . . . The only palliative [or relief] is to keep the clean sea breeze of the centuries blowing through our minds, and this can be done only by reading old books." Taken from Lewis, C. S. "On the Reading of Old Books." On the Incarnation. Pantianos Classics, 1944, pp. 6. (Use your own words)

In C.S. Lewis' "On the Reading of Old Books," he discusses how different time periods have different mistakes. We need old books to teach us about the mistakes of our time period. If we only read new, modern books, we will not see those mistakes.

In a couple of sentences, give an example of the confirmatio of this speech. (Use your own words)

In lines 25-30, Henry says, "Ask yourselves how this gracious reception of our petition comports with those warlike preparations which cover our waters and darken our land. Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation? Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled that force must be called in to win back our love? Let us not deceive ourselves, sir. These are the implements of war and subjugation; the last arguments to which kings resort." These sentences defend and give evidence to why Henry wants to fight. He points out that if Britain truly considered their petitions, why would they be sending armies and fleets? Even Britain knows that there will be a war, and America had not even decided to declare war at that point! In Henry's perspective, what other option is there other than to retaliate?

In a couple of sentences, give an example of the narratio of this speech. (Use your own words)

In lines 35-37, Henry says, "And what have we to oppose to them? Shall we try argument? Sir, we have been trying that for the last ten years. Have we anything new to offer upon the subject? Nothing. We have held the subject up in every light of which it is capable; but it has been all in vain." These lines give context to why Henry is making his speech. He explains that for the last decade, they have been trying to find solutions other than war. However, none of these solutions worked. So, that is why Henry was making his speech: to tell the delegates that they only have one final solution.
