gavmur [86]1 year ago
6 0

A group of London book dealers first requested Johnson's dictionary in the hopes that a work of this nature would aid in the stabilization of the rules controlling the English language.

Johnson notes in the foreword of the book how he found the language to be "copious without order, and active without rules." Johnson's close friend Robert Dodsley gave him the<em> initial inspiration to start an English dictionary. </em>

Johnson first opposed the project, but after deliberating for a while, he decided to take it on. He then gave the prologue of the Dictionary an explanation of his decision to write the dictionary.

Answer:

One change that is being implemented is that "school lunches are required to provide a specific variety of produce each week" (Rita 4).

Children who bought school lunches are "30 percent more likely to be obese" than students who brought their lunches from home every day (Newman 24).

Research has found that only 6 percent of all school lunches are considered nutritious (Gardiner and Mabel 401).

Explanation:

A quotation occurs when the author of a text wishes to use the words of another author, who are in another literary work. So that this practice does not turn into a case of plagiarism it is important that the author who will make a quote provides information that allows the reader to realize that a quote is being made, in addition to being able to know the name of the author and where to find the original text.

In this case, the MLA format states that for a quote to be made, it is necessary, first, that quote be placed in quotation marks. Then, it is necessary that, in parentheses, the surname of the author and the page number where the quote can be found are presented.

2. What is the author's viewpoint in "Sidestepping Student Debt"? How does the author use rhetoric to
Komok [63]

Answer:

The author's viewpoint on "side-stepping student debts is that he thinks its a good idea, and can save you from debt and help you save money. The writer uses rhetoric advance his viewpoint, and make it sound more interesting. He does this by informing and persuading the audiences in a specific situation. The author uses this in his writing, to exaggerate his point.

The author uses rhetoric in his writing. An example of this is when he states "Instead, these smart students sidestep serious college debt before college even begins. " The author uses this to persuade the reader that sidestepping is something smart people do, and can keep you out of debt. This creates an emotional response.

3) Writers use a number of literary devices to persuade a reader to think or follow the authors opinion. They also use it to add strength to an argument. The author uses false statements when he says "Finding entry-level corporate jobs is difficult for young graduates without career experience." This is a false statement because finding a job as a young graduate isn't hard. In fact, lots of places would higher someone who graduated from college. This is because you've graduated from college and are ready to apply what youve learned in school to real life.

Writers use fallacious sometimes in their writing. Fallacious is based on a mistaken belief. Other words invalid and faulty reasoning. As the writer writes about sidestepping, he uses a lot of it to make his opinion sound more persuading. In writing fallacious can make you sound persuading or smart, but isn't helpful because it's not true.
