To use someone who is not a professional in a field as a source to support a theory/argument in that field. ex) to use a famous wrestler as authority to speak about astronomy. they are famous so people will listen to their authority, even if there’s no correlation to their expertise and the topic of space
Umm We can’t even see the questions nor answers?
The mood is very powerful, it has a dark atmosphere, on a cloudy day, near a scary lake. The description of the house is detailed as a terrifying place.
The narrator seems to be disconcerted. He had a different memory of his old friend. He is not able to express literally how the whole situation makes him feel.
The ghost that Phoenix sees is a scarecrow :)

- <em>What is the viewpoint?</em>
The person who wrote this email believes that the local library should be a priority: "the public library is essential to our community." This person cares about the town's students' ability to study in an appropriate environment: "students need a safe and quiet place to complete their homework." They would like the library to remain available as it currently is.
- <em>What is the problem?</em>
The problem is the city council's recent decision to reduce the opening hours for the library: "city council plans to cut the library’s hours." We are told that this measure comes as a response to the charges that are involved in keeping the library open (paying the employees, for the most part): "the budget is an issue."
- <em>What is an effect of the problem?</em>
This is an issue because as a consequence, the students would not get to study in as good conditions as they do now: "this will limit students’ time to study and conduct research after school." As a result, the community can try to influence the vote of the city council's members on the issue: "I am writing to urge you to vote against these cuts."
- <em>What is the proposed solution?</em>
The solution suggested to the city official is to ask college students to volonteer as library employees, in order to keep the library open without the city council's worrying about paying the staff: "perhaps volunteers from the local community college can help staff the library."
