"Although often imprisoned, Emmeline Pankhurst was an implacable crusader for a woman's right to vote in England."

Soueif's word choice in the first two paragraphs establishes a reflective and contemplative tone. The use of words such as "implacably," "sunlit," and "unbroken surface" evoke a sense of tranquility and reminiscence. This tone sets the stage for a thoughtful and introspective narrative.

No. "National Socialism" (Nazism) is a form of fascism, an ideology implacably opposed to socialism despite its name.

A teenager who loses a member of their family by suicide can be called 'a suicide survivor'. More generally a "suicide survivor" is an individual who remains alive following the death by suicide of someone with whom they had a significant relationship or emotional bond.

Cain (1972: 12) wrote about the predicament of many survivors of suicide, including, in some but by no means all cases "their torment and their desperate need for psychological assistance". He mentioned survivors' reactions that have included reality distortion, fractured family relationships, guilt, disturbed self-concept, impotent rage, mis-identification with the suicide, depression and self-destructiveness, search for meaning and incomplete mourning.

Some, all or none of these reactions may occur in an individual survivor of family suicide. Each person's response is unique as indeed is each act of suicidal behaviour. But it is known and accepted that, complex psychological responses containing 'guilt, shame, unmet yearning and unresolved grief' (Cain, 1972: 14) may, in an unknown but limited number of cases, lead to pathological depression that could be acted out in 'implacably self-destructive ways of life...and direct suicidal behaviour - suicidal impulses, fantasies, threats, preoccupation, repeated suicide attempts and completed suicides'.

Significantly, Cain (1972: 14) states that survivors frequently volunteer and often helpfully serve as lay staff in suicide prevention agencies.

If you have experienced a family suicide, you may be able to help yourself and others by seeking professional psychotherapeutic support, in order to come to terms in a healthy way with your serious loss and in recovery, to continue to live your life fully and productively and so to deliver all of your potential as a human being.

No. The Japanese Navy had meditated an attack on Pearl Harbor for decades, in the event of war with the US. The idea was actually the subject of a novel published before the first World War, which did not go unnoticed in Japan. For several years in the early 30s the question of how best to attack Pearl Harbor was included on the final examination of classes at the Imperial Naval General Staff College. Once further sales of oil to Japan were embargoed in the summer of 1941, the Japanese had only an 18 month supply on hand. The leaders of the military thus saw the situation as a stark choice between knuckling under to US demands that they cease their aggressive conquests in Asia, withdraw from China, and give up forever the dream of the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere", or, come up with an alternative supply of oil, which meant invading the Dutch East Indies for the ample supply there. Not realizing than unlike themselves, a US president (in those days) could not take the US to war whenever he might wish to do so, the Japanese felt it necessary to invade the Philippines (then a US possession) to secure the flank of their attack farther south. The Japanese never understood that the people of the US were most unlikely to support going to war over any number of some other country's invaded colonies, and thus choose the one method of ensuring that the people of the US would be implacably determined to see them vanquished, by making a direct attack on the US. It was Admiral Yamamoto who was able to use his prestige to add the attack on Pearl Harbor to the overall plan, over considerable reluctance among his colleagues, in order to inflict sufficient damage to the US Pacific Fleet that the US would be unable to interfere with the planned Japanese conquests for at least six months, by which time they would have (and did) secure all their objectives. The Japanese expected or hoped that after this the soft, decadent US would meekly acquiesce in this new status quo, and make peace.
