A. sentence 1 should include the writer’s first name.
B. sentence 2 should state what the essay prompt was.
C. sentence 3 should avoid mentioning money.
D. sentence 4 should avoid the extreme opinion.
Answer:
The reason why the writer needs to revise the personal statement is:
C. sentence 3 should avoid mentioning money.
Explanation:
<u>A personal statement is supposed to be a brief description of oneself in connection to the career one wishes to pursue. It should mention one's experience, education, and strengths in relation to that field. However, mentioning money should be avoided.</u> The personal statement is not the "place" to do so. Instead of sounding ambitious in a good way, talking about "good money" - as the writer did in the passage we are analyzing here - may make one sound shallow.
Answer:
C. New environments can change one's sense of self-worth.
Explanation:
Charles Dickens' <em>Great Expectations</em> tells the story of a young orphan named Pip and his rise to being a gentleman. But more importantly, his childhood days, the education and knowledge that he learned along the way during his various encounters with different sorts of people and the theme of belonging, loss of innocence, and society are all dealt with in the story.
In the given excerpt from Chapter VIII of the text, the scene shows Pip's first encounter with Miss Havisham and also Estella. Pip admits he had never questioned his childhood until that day when after meeting with Miss Havisham, was led to the courtyard under the bright sunlight. As though everything hidden in the dark is illuminated by the sun, Pip also feels ashamed of his appearance and even regrets not being taught properly by Joe. He admits his shame in realizing his <em>"coarse hands and my common boots"</em> were seen by Miss Havisham, admits that<em> "they had never troubled me before, but they troubled me now as vulgar appendages"</em>. He even expressed his<em> "wish [that] Joe had been rather more genteely brought up, and then I should have been so too"</em>, which shows <u>his feeling of inferiority in the face of Miss Havisham,</u> or in general, in front of someone richer or 'classier' than them.
Ethos is appeal to authority; it uses examples from people who hold power or those the audience would trust, such as celebrities, politicians, etc. Pathos is appeal to emotion; examples would be the SPCA commercials, talking about starving children, anything that stirs up emotion in your audience. Logos is appeal to logic; it uses step by step explanations and common knowledge to get the point across.
Im pretty sure its A good luck ma bro..
