There is the exposition, which is the introduction and the rising action, which are the events building up to the climax.

The correct answer is rising action.


Exposition is the introduction, when we get to meet the characters and find out what's going on in general. Then follows rising action, which are various conflicts and events that lead toward the climax, which is the highest point within a story. After the climax, there is falling action, when things start to settle down slowly. In the end, we have denouement, which is when everything is finally solved.

What are some negative effect and characterisctics of rhetoric?
prohojiy [21]

Rhetoric gained negative effect when used by  politicians, because people began to wonder if they really meant what they said, and whether they would keep up with their words (as in political campaigns, for example).

But in principle, rhetoric could be really positive and it was formed over the centuries, and viewed as the 'art of persuade others'.

The rhetoric was born in the 5th century BC in Sicily, and was introduced to Athens by the sophists, and used in political and judicial circles of ancient Greece.

Nowadays rhetoric is the study of writing, and academic writing divides it into rhetorical modes, considering nine the most common.

Read the paragraph from John F. Kennedy’s “Speech at American University.” Our interests converge, however, not only in defendin
timurjin [86]

The option that most effectively completes the sentence is “allowing world nations freedom of choice, within reason, promotes peace”. According to John Kennedy in his speech delivered at the American University, nations (in this case he refers to the Soviet Union) should not try to impose rules on other nations as this interferes with the process of peace and creates tension.

What is a significant event for two bit Mathews in the outsiders
marin [14]

Answer: 1. In chapter 1, Ponyboy gets jumped by a group of Socs while he is walking home from the movies. Fortunately, several Greasers come to his aid and the Socs scatter. Two-Bit is one of the gang members to arrive at the scene and attempts to lift Pony's spirits by telling him, "Nice cut, too. Makes you look tough" (Hinton, 11).

2. Two-Bit is with Ponyboy buying Cokes at the Tasty Freeze when Randy Adderson asks to speak to Pony before the rumble. Two-Bit makes sure that Randy doesn't attempt to harm Ponyboy while he speaks to him inside his car about Bob's death and not attending the rumble.

3. In chapter 8, Two-Bit goes with Ponyboy to visit Johnny and Dally in the hospital. During their visit, Two-Bit witnesses Johnny in critical condition and goes to the drugstore to buy him a copy of Gone with the Wind. After visiting Johnny, Two-Bit sees Dally and gives Dally his prized switchblade without hesitating.

4. Two-Bit is involved in the rumble against the Socs that takes place in chapter 9 and is the person who yells, "They're running! . . . Look at the dirty --- run" (Hinton, 123). After the Socs flee the scene, Ponyboy notices that Two-Bit has a deep gash down the side of his face and recalls seeing Two-Bit's hand gushing blood.

5. In chapter 10, Two-Bit and the other gang members are lounging around at Darry's home when Ponyboy enters and tells them that Johnny died. He then mentions that Dally ran out of the hospital and Two-Bit comments, "So he finally broke . . . So even Dally has a breaking point" (Hinton, 130). The gang then races after Dally and Two-Bit is there to witness the police shoot and kill their friend after Dally pulls out his unloaded pistol.
