If it is true that land does not belong to anyone until they have buried a body in it, then the land of my birthplace belongs to

me, dozens of times over. Yet the history of my family, like that of all black Southerners, is a history of dispossession. We loved the land and worked the land, but we never owned it; and even if we bought land, as my great-grandfather did after the Civil War, it was always in danger of being taken away, as his was, during the period following Reconstruction.
Which sentence explains how the use of ethos affects the meaning of the text?

a)By describing her family’s connection to the land, Walker shows that they had a right to claim it as theirs.
b)Walker mentions the Civil War and Reconstruction to show her knowledge of history.
c)Walker discusses the role of her great-grandfather to prove how connected her family is.
d)By discussing the work put into the land, Walker shows why other people wanted to take away the land.

The sentence that explains how the use of ethos affects the meaning of the text is:

  • b) Walker mentions the Civil War and Reconstruction to show her knowledge of history.

<h3>What is Ethos?</h3>

Ethos refers to a speaker's credibility in speaking on a subject matter. The speaker in the text above demonstrated credibility by virtue of her historical knowledge.

She knew how her great grand father's land was taken because he was black. So, she could speak about the injustice meted on the blacks.

How is 1st person perspective used in "Rules of the Game"by Amy Tan
navik [9.2K]

Explanation:

The first story, Rules of the Game by Amy Tan, has a first person point of view, but Tan also allows readers to view the daughter and mother at the same time. Just like other first person stories, the protagonist Waverly Jong is the narrator who tells us the story. As I read through the story, I am immersed into the story, which is one of the strengths of first person point of view. From the story,

It is very obvious. If the story was told using a different point of view, it will be changed drastically. For example, Waverly’s point of view represents the symbolism of “The art of invisible strength”, which means self control. If the story has a different point of view, the meaning of self control will become useless. And in the perspective of characterization, the point of view is also important. Since we see the story through Waverly’s eyes, we know what Waverly judges and thinks about the other characters, and what Waverly thinks about herself. She believes her accomplishment is based on her talent in chess, which leads to the climax rising action of Waverly running away. We see how Waverly was irritated by her mother, and again, if the story is not told by Waverly, we would not be able to understand that she did not mean to hurt her mother with the words of “Why do you have to use me to show off? If you want to show off, then why don’t you learn to play chess?” Or if the story is told in a third person point of view, like the old woman Waverly knocked into in the instance, we probably see a rude and unreasonable young girl who argues with her mother in the middle of a street.
