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.

<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.

Your English teacher wants you to write a story. Your story must begin with this sentence:
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer: The ball flew through the air and landed in the tree. I went ahead and climbed up to the tree and knocked out the ball. As soon as I hit the ball, a stray dog got the ball and ran towards a pile of boxes. The piles of boxes were filled with trash that smelled like tuna fish. I looked through the boxes and found the dog with their 8 puppies, which were about 3 weeks old. I then bought dog food for the puppies and also for the mother. After that I took them to the vet for a check up. Everything went well, I named each puppy after famous basketball players. I’ll never forget that amazing day.

Explain Breath in 100 words
mel-nik [20]
Breathing is the process of moving air into and out of the lungs to facilitate gas exchange with the internal environment, mostly to bring in oxygen and flush out carbon dioxide. The process of respiration, during which air is inhaled into the lungs through the mouth or nose due to muscle contraction and then exhaled due to muscle relaxation. Breathing, or "external respiration", brings air into the lungs where gas exchange takes place in the alveoli through diffusion. The body's circulatory system transports these gases to and from the cells, where "cellular respiration" takes place. The breathing of all vertebrates with lungs consists of repetitive cycles of inhalation and exhalation through a highly branched system of tubes or airways which lead from the nose to the alveoli.The number of respiratory cycles per minute is the breathing or respiratory rate, and is one of the four primary vital signs of life.

Make an inference about Friar Laurence and Romeo’s relationship, and compare it to the nurse and Juliet’s relationship. Write th
iren [92.7K]
Although Friar Laurence is different from the nurse in terms of personality and how he holds himself, both he and the nurse are similar with their relationships with Romeo and Juliet. With Friar Laurence and Romeo, Romeo relies on Friar Laurence not to tell anyone about him and Juliet, and further asks him to participate by wedding them. This is similar to Juliet and the nurse because the nurse is also aware of Romeo and Juliet’s relationship, but doesn’t tell anyone, and further participated by hiding their relationship and covering for Juliet. One more similarity is that FL and Romeo both rely on each not to reveal R&J’s relationship, because although the Friar is not apart of the relationship, if it were to be revealed, so would the Friar’s participation in it, and the same goes for Juliet and the nurse.
