In 1930 Mohandas “Mahatma” Gandhi led a nonviolent march in India protesting Britain’s colonial monopoly on and taxation of an e

ssential resource: salt. The Salt March, as it came to be known, was a triggering moment for the larger civil disobedience movement that eventually won India independence from Britain in 1947. Shortly before the Salt March, Gandhi had written to Viceroy Lord Irwin, the representative of the British crown in India. The passage below is the conclusion of that letter. Read the passage carefully. Then, in a well-written essay, analyze the rhetorical choices Gandhi makes to present his case to Lord Irwin.I NEED AN ESSAY WRITTEN PLEASE!!!!

Explanation:] During the British occupation of India, they exerted colonial monopolies and control against

the Indian people. The Indians rebelled against these monopolies, similar to the American revolution

against the British. However, the movement in India was largely driven by nonviolent acts of civil

disobedience, led by Mahatma Gandhi. Throughout his letter, Gandhi applies a conciliatory, yet forceful

tone, he places the blame onto the British, and he continually repeats his plan for the march in order to

convince the British to reverse their policies before he acts.

Throughout his letter, Gandhi is conciliatory and respectful. He writes to the British with the

intent of asking for the reversal of a law, so he knows that he must be polite and courteous. His

demeanor conveys to the British his sense of servitude to the British in lines 16-20. However, he is not

stepping down, but rather standing up to the British respectfully. He states that he “does not seek to

harm your people,” which simultaneously reassures the British of nonviolence but also conveys Gandhi’s

sense of urgency. He is going to act, he is going to do something, and he is informing the British of it.

Gandhi is not submitting; he is asserting himself, but with respect. Through his letter, he uses imperative

verbs, but states them politely so to not convey a violent tone. He says, “I invite you,” which sounds

polite, but indirectly is an order to the British to reverse their ways. He finishes his letter by reminding

the British that he is not threatening them, but merely reminding them that he will act if they do not.

Through the letter, his tone is both respectful to the British but is also clear and forceful in its message.

Gandhi’s rhetorical tactics place the blame onto the British. When he continually reassures

them of his nonviolence, he is demonstrating that the Indians are not going to act violently, thereby

indirectly asking the British if they too will follow the Indians. He uses phrases such as “unless the British

nation…retraces its steps” and “if the British commerce with India is purified of greed.” These

statements are Gandhi’s way of placing responsibility on to the British. They evoke the sense that the

violence and conflict are the British’s fault not the Indians. In this way, Gandhi leaves it to the British to

decide whether they want to stop their actions, thereby evoking a sense of guilt and responsibility in the

British. These methods serve Gandhi’s purpose of asking the British to revise their laws without

outrightly asking. His methods make the British the aggressors and, in this way, makes the British

consider their position more fully.

By repeating his plans to march, Gandhi is showing the British that he will not make any

surprises. He, from the start of the passage, informs the British of his nonviolent plans. By ensuring that

the British know of his plans, he is showing a sense of responsibility and honesty in his actions. This

causes the British to regard him more favorably, because they recognize that his actions and motives are

clear and honest. This will serve to make them more receptive to his demands. Gandhi also describes

the situation in such a way to make the British pity the Indians. He calls the tax the “most iniquitous

from a poor man’s standpoint,” and he wonders how they “have submitted to the cruel monopoly for so

long.” By describing the situation in such terms, he gives reason for the British to pity the Indians, and

again to see the harm they have caused them. These all serve to further Gandhi’s case.

Narrate one Africa Traditional story on creation​
kati45 [8]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

This story is about the universe's creation, popular among the Yorubas. Yoruba is the name of a nation predominantly in West Africa, particularly, Nigeria, the Republic of Benin, and Togo.

The story begins with the spiritual descension or coming down from heaven by a mystical god known as Obatala.

Obatala came from heaven under the instruction of Olodumare, the Supreme God. While Obatala was coming, he came with a hen that has seven legs, and a snail shell that has sand.

Obatala was tasked by Olodumare to create land on the water. When he reached the earth and saw the earth full of water, he pours the mystical sand on the water, and then placed hen with seven legs to spread it all over the world.

The spreading of the sand with the legs of the hen is a sign of expansion, which is a rough translation of "Ile-Ife." (The expanding house).

It was in Ile-Ife, Obatala first landed and the beginning of sand expansion started. It was after this the creation of humans by Olodumare, the Supreme God, started fully.
