Which theme of the jazz age is most present in the first five chapters of the great gatsby

5 0
Materialism

It is clear that what is most important to many characters in the novel is what money can buy them. The reader sees this not only with Gatsby, who throws his party so that Daisy one day will hopefully walk in and be impressed with his things, but with other characters too. The owl-eyed man in Gatsby's library is so impressed that the books are real! Tom buys a puppy for Myrtle and also feels a bit like he owns her. This obsession with 'things' was very prevalent in the 1920s all around.

Write a rhetorical paragraph on the Declaration of Independence. Be sure that one of your paragraphs analyzes the logic and reas
saul85 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Aristotle's "modes for persuasion" - otherwise known as rhetorical appeals - are known by the names of ethos, pathos, and logos. They are means of persuading others to believe a particular point of view. They are often used in speech writing and advertising to sway the audience.

Meaning of Ethos, Logos, and Pathos

Aristotle used these three terms to explain how rhetoric works:

"Of the modes of persuasion furnished by the spoken word there are three kinds. The first kind depends on the personal character of the speaker [ethos]; the second on putting the audience into a certain frame of mind [pathos]; the third on the proof, or apparent proof, provided by the words of the speech itself [logos]. Persuasion is achieved by the speaker's personal character when the speech is so spoken as to make us think him credible."

Ethos (sometimes called an appeal to ethics), then, is used as a means of convincing an audience via the authority or credibility of the persuader, be it a notable or experienced figure in the field or even a popular celebrity.

Pathos (appeal to emotion) is a way of convincing an audience of an argument by creating an emotional response to an impassioned plea or a convincing story.

Logos (appeal to logic) is a way of persuading an audience with reason, using facts and figures.

Which statement best expresses the central idea of the text? A Jesse Owens used his platform after his win at the Olympics to br
son4ous [18]

Answer:

D. Jesse Owens didn’t allow the racial discrimination he faced at home or abroad to keep him from doing what he loved and succeeding at it.

Explanation:

In the informational essay <em>Jesse Owens </em>by Shelby Ostergaard, the whole essay details how persistent James Cleveland Owens was in his desire to achieve his dream. He did not let the racial discrimination and prejudice deter him from doing what he loves, despite what others may say or treat him.

The main idea of the whole essay seems to be that he did not allow the racial discrimination he faced at home and even at the college or even the treatment he met after winning the Olympics deter his aim. Hitler refused to shake his hand after his win, the racial discrimination back at home did not change even after winning a medal for his country, the country that seems to love him yet not care about him at all. But despite all these, he did not stop doing what he loved, running towards his goals, and which, in his own words, is one thing <em>"you could do by yourself and under your own power"</em>.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
