English
1 answer:
Vlada [557]3 years ago

Answer:

This gives the reader a sense of the burden that the men are bearing in carrying these things. Much attention is given to the weight and pressure the soldiers feel from what they're carrying and from external forces, such as nature.

Explanation:

"They carried the sky. The whole atmosphere...they carried gravity." But the greatest weight the men feel comes from nothing they can physically carry, but rather their emotions: "Grief, terror, love, longing these were intangibles, but the intangibles had their own mass and specific gravity, they had tangible weight.

Why do you believe that you are reliable<br> needs to be persuasive and of high quality and formal
olasank [31]

Answer:

I am a reliable person because I am responsible, loyal, and know how to keep secrets.

People always rely on me since I have never failed with my tasks at work or my studies. They know that I work hard to succeed in my daily duties and always have everything planned to avoid failing at what I have to do if a problem arises.

Another quality that defines me as a reliable person is my loyalty. I stand with the ones that I consider to be my friends or valuable people for their beliefs and actions. In other words, I help them and am by their side on the good and the bad days, supporting them even when no one else does because I believe in them and their potential.

The last thing that makes me a reliable person is that people always come to me to tell me about their problems or secrets because they know that they can trust me. I never have, and would never, divulge private information; even if it keeping other's secrets puts me in compromised positions, I would not tell what the other person has confided me.

I consider that being responsible, loyal and someone who you can tell your secrets are the main characteristics that make a person reliable. Besides, it is hard to find in today's world, but I am lucky enough to have them.

Explanation:

When we write a persuasive essay, we have to convince the reader. To do so, we have to be confident and give clear facts. We have to explain why we are reliable in different paragraphs giving evidence and facts. It is important to make an impacting conclusion where we restate the main points of the essay.

We also write in the introduction three characteristics that define us as someone reliable. This technique shows confidence and demonstrates in a summarized way why we are reliable.
