In what ways can words be considered to have power

English
1 answer:
gtnhenbr [62]3 years ago
3 0
The definition of power is the ability to do or act (note that words give us the power to define 'power' in the first place). 

Words have the power to produce action in several ways. They can create emotions, moods, and levels of motivation, and can will people to action when they otherwise have sat complacent. They have the power to uplift and improve people's outlook on life, and the power to produce an environment of hate and fear. They can instruct people on a previously vexing problem, and enable people to communicate thoughts that would have otherwise been trapped in the mind of only one person. 

Words fulfill the definition of power because they have the ability to create and influence real action.

How to write a closing paragraph?
trapecia [35]
I'm not good with this stuff, but I'd try summarizing the paper for your closing paragraph. End with a sentence like, "That's why I love summer vacation" if it's about why you like summer vacation. I hope that makes sense!

Which technique for adding emphasis uses a literary reference?
Elan Coil [88]
An allusion is a reference to a literary character from a well-known work (for example, Frankenstein, Sherlock Holmes, Biblical characters, etc.). This allows a writer to avoid having to explain all the finer points of his character, by simply pointing the reader to another well-known character. The answer is D.
