Prompt
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

This is my whole responce please paraphrase  

Explanation:

In Shirley Chisholm’s Speech “People and Peace, Not Profits and War.” Chisholm uses introduction, narration, confirmation, refutation, and conclusion, all of which are effective in her speech to strengthen her argument that the military should not be pouring so much of the government’s money into the Vietnam War. Chisholm also uses ethos, pathos, and logos to strengthen her argument. An excellent example of Confirmation in Chisholm’s speech is the quote, “The new secretary of health, education, and welfare, Robert Finch, came to the Hill, to tell the House Education and Labor Committee that he thinks we should spend more on education, particularly in city schools. But, he said, unfortunately, we cannot “afford” to, until we have reached some kind of good solution to the Vietnam War.” (30) This quote establishes credibility for Chisholm as she uses the opinion of another credible person to help with the argument of how spending money on the war has consequences for American citizens. Another example that Chisholm uses that fit a classical argument is a narrative” I was one of the many Americans who hoped it would mean that our country would benefit from the fresh perspectives, the new ideas, the different priorities of a leader who had no part in the mistakes of the past. Mr. Nixon had said things like this: “If our cities are to be livable for the next generation, we can delay no longer in launching new approaches to the problems that beset them and to the tensions that tear them apart.” And he said, “When you cut expenditures for education, what you are doing is shortchanging the American future.” (10). Chisholm uses Narration of Nixon’s words and hers to share the dissatisfaction with how Nixon is dealing with the war and the money of America. Her claim is strengthened due to the fact she uses Nixon’s own words against him since Nixon preached many things that he would do, and Chisholm says, “But frankly, I have never cared too much what people say. What I am interested in is what they do.” That statement shows that when Nixon didn't prove his claims together with his actions, Chisholm was quite disappointed. Chisholm's speech does an excellent job of convincing her audience on how we should think of the well-being of Americans and not just war. she uses many rhetorical elements that help her claims.

In at least 100 words, explain the author’s use of foreshadowing in Nadine Gordimer’s “Once Upon a Time.”
lisabon 2012 [21]
Nadine Gordimer weaves many examples of foreshadowing into "Once Upon a Time." The frame story introduces the concept of fear.

As the bedtime story begins, readers learn the family is "living happily ever after." Since such wording usually describes the end, not the beginning, of a story, readers know the happiness cannot last, or there would not be any story at all. The reference to the parents' fencing the swimming pool so the boy won't "fall in and drown" foreshadows the boy's death in his own yard. The early appearance of a "wise old witch" also portends some sort of evil curse or ill fortune. When the second paragraph of the bedtime story explains "it was not possible to insure the house. . . against riot damage," readers suspect such an event may occur. This foreshadowed event never happens; instead, it is the desire to "insure against. . . damage" that becomes the destructive force in the family's life.

The cat that keeps setting off the alarm acts as a bad omen as well. Cats and witches often portend evil, and in this case, the fact that the cat can scale the wall and get through the bars predicts that the home is not yet fully secure. The installation of the "Dragon's Teeth" fencing that makes their home look like a concentration camp, and the wife's first contradiction ("You're wrong") give a feeling of foreboding as the end of the story nears. Now the cat sleeps on the bed, yet the husband's calm assurance that "cats always look before they leap" makes readers anticipate that the cat is wiser than his human owners, and that they are leaping into danger that they haven't fully considered.

The foreshadowing Gordimer uses helps readers stay engaged with the story as they anticipate a non-traditional ending to this "bedtime story."
