passive "As persons deprived of memory become disoriented and lost, not knowing where they have been and where they are going, so a nation denied a conception of the past will be disabled in dealing with its present and its future." Question: Persons deprived and a nation denied---If we just say persons lost their memory and a nation that doesn’t have the conception of the past, how much have I lost, compared with the original passive “deprived and denied”? Who did the depriving and denying anyway? Thanks. |
