Hmm, a strong argument typically includes a statement of one's own opinion, then your opponent's counterclaim, and reasons why the counterclaim is inaccurate or invalid. For instance, Tammy could have started off with a statement about how animal safety benefits the animals, and then address the counterclaim about it being expensive by stating it doesn't just help the animals, but the people as well. I think the answer here is false because Tammy's speech didn't include an argument about how expensive animal safety is. So false. I hope this helps, sorry it's so long.
Please cite your analysis after your speech.
The correct answer is 4: The speaker implores God to use violence to break him so that he can be made new.
In this Holy Poem 14, “Batter my Heart”, by John Donne, the poet is addressing God directly and he is implying that the usual way God enters into everybody’s life is not enough for the poet. The poet does not need gentle manners: to knock, to shine, to mend.
On the other hand, in order to let God get into his life, he needs a tough hand: to force, to brake, to blow and burn. This is likely because the poet might consider his soul and heart are too corrupt for such gentle ways.
The paradox, or apparently contradictory idea, here is to attach God such a violent behavior.
When the poet witnessed the death of her canary as a child, she was not immediately moved to "tears or sadness" but was struck by the "fitness" of the burial of the canary. However, she later experienced loss as an adult and felt a deep sense of grief:
Not knowing death would be hard
Later, dark, without form or purpose.
After my first true grief I wept, was sad, was dark, . . .
After she finished grieving, she recalled her childhood response to the death of the canary. She feels that her first response was wiser, though it seems to lack sensitivity. She feels that all human experience is a form of play, and death is a kind of farewell ritual:
The yellow bird sings in my mind and I say
That the child is callous but wise, knows the purpose of play.
Kathleen Kingsbury won the Pulitzer Prize with her article that showed a full position on the situation of restaurant workers and how customers are the strongest voice that can help them.
Kingsbury establishes his arguments based on the economic difficulty that restaurant workers need to survive in relation to the importance of these professionals in our job market. She states that “Most Americans eat out on an average of seven times a week, and having good restaurants nearby has become an increasing part of what makes a community feel livable,” this shows how today's society, because of the way of life that adopted is increasingly dependent on the service of these employees, however, the low wages that they receive in this country with the high cost of living makes them have many economic problems, which is not expected for such a relevant professional.
Kingsbury also states that "Too many families are struggling to survive, to put food on the table and make sure their family's future is brighter than their own," which reinforces her argument that customers should help them in their search for better wages, in addition to promoting a fair and generous tip.
