How might that have shaped President McKinley's message, including the tone and the words he chose to use in this speech to Congress?
President McKinley's message had been an important thing in his speech to Congress where he had roused Sympathy for the Cuban Independence Movement.
Who is William McKinley?From 1897 until his death 1901, William McKinley, the 25th president of the United States, presided over the country. He oversaw a political realignment that, up until the 1930s, largely made his Republican Party the main force in the industrial regions and across the country.
McKinley's presidency was characterized by swift economic expansion. To shield manufacturers and manufacturing employees from foreign competition, he pushed for the enactment of the Gold Standard Act in 1900.
The only president to start as an enlistee and finish as a brevet major, McKinley was the final president to have participated in the American Civil War. He made his home in Canton, Ohio, where William practiced law after the war. McKinley was elected to the House in 1876 when he established himself as the party's foremost authority on protective tariffs and their supposed economic benefits. His very divisive McKinley Tariff of 1890, along with a Democrat who intended to him out of office, contributed to his downfall in the landslide victory of the Democrats in 1890.

Is the narrator a hero or an anti-hero? Does Orwell want us to feel comfortable with him, or uncomfortable? In shooting an Elephant.
Answer:
Comfortable.
Explanation:
Orwell wants us to feel comfortable because he tell the reader that he has pity and is not crazy at all. Orwell is distinct because the narrator shows pity of his actions. The natives considered the narrator is a hero but in reality he is an anti-hero due to his actions. The people hate the Orwell because he works for the British who rule over them. They harass him and mock him by doing bad things to him and seek opportunities to laugh at him.
Orwell, as a narrator, is a hero for the natives, but in truth, he is an anti-hero.
George Orwell

Negatively charged ions are referred to as anions. A charged atom or molecule is an ion. A balanced atom will change into a positively charged cation if one or more of its electrons are lost. A balanced atom will change into a negatively charged anion if it gains one or more electrons.
An atom is known as a when one of its electrons is lost and it gets a positive charge.
An atom will transform into an ion, a positively or negatively charged particle, if it loses or obtains electrons. When one or more electrons are lost, the resulting positively charged ion, known as a cation, has more protons than electrons.
