Some say that we are too weak to fight Britain. The opposition may have thought that just a small potential country of 13 colonies and a relatively small population without all the resources and the military might of the British Empire would not stand a chance of defeating such an apparently strong power. Such a case if it were presented would not take into account the law of history that where there is oppression there is resistance and that fighting for a just cause can overcome most obstacles partly because the unity of those fighting is much greater than those fighting for the oppressors.
Writing texts differs from the techniques or style used by the writers. As I read the text, I’ve observed that various punctuations were used in the text such periods to indicate that the sentence ends there. Commas were used also to indicate that there’s a pause between parts of the sentence, and question marks to indicate questions. Every line also starts with the capitalization of letters. The author also used correct spelling of words. Aside from that, he/she used variety of language wherein a British word was used in a sentence like the word “honour” instead of using an American English “honor”. Rhyming of words at the end of the sentence is also noticeable for example, “Richly, richly, robe him richly” and “The cloth of honour is alari”. The used of intonation in the text are also observable wherein, in the line three, “A man of honour should be seen?” is a rising intonation indicates that the author tried to question someone. While falling intonation was seen and indicates a statement such as in the line eight, “Sanyan is the band of friendship”. Stress is also apparent in the text that helps to give emphasis and importance of each syllables. Overall, the choices of words found in the texts were easy to comprehend.
Answer: ethos, an appeal based on the speaker’s credibility
Explanation:
Ethos is a persuasion technique that aims to convince the listeners of the claims made by the speaker by basing it on the speaker's credibility to be able to say such things. For instance, a doctor giving medical advice and saying it is based on their years of experience in medicine.
In this scenario, President Roosevelt is using ethos to convince Americans that he is leaving the internment of Japanese-Americans at the discretion of the Secretary of War and any appropriate Military Commander and that they are credible enough to carry out such a task because he has authorized it as the President.
