I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided; and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future b

ut by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years, to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves and the house? Is it that insidious smile with which our petition has been lately received? Trust it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet. Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss.

A. To warn against the unlikelihood of British cooperation

Answer:

<u> A. To warn against the unlikelihood of British cooperation </u>

Explanation:

In this section, the author tries to convince the audience not to judge the British government based on recent or current actions but on its behavior during the last ten years. He or she claims that people will be deceived, betrayed and will suffer again if they put their hopes on the British government: <em>Trust it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet. Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss</em>. With these words, the author aims to warn against the unlikelihood of British cooperation.

True [87]

Answer: A. avoided

Explanation:

Taylor Lautner left through the back door knowing that people had waited for him on the first day and the second. He had therefore avoided them in using the backdoor so that he would not have to interact with the students waiting outside the school to see him.

It is understandable that celebrities are quite busy and can get exhausted by the constant attention but every once in a while they should remember to honor their fans whose support keeps them working.

How does Douglass use the Rhetorical Appeals (Ethos, Pathos, Logos)? Look specifically in chapter 10.
natima [27]

Answer:

Pathos: emotional appeal

Logos: logical appeal

Ethos: Connection between pathos and logos to cause credibility.

Explanation:

In chapter 10 Douglas establishes a connection with the reader through the use of emotions implicit in the pathos appeal proposed by the philosopher Aristotle.

According to this literary style used by the author, it is possible to establish a connection that leads the reader to understand the process of transition between the slave man to the free man, this process takes place during a situation that uses the logos appeal in its logic for its development, and it is this connection that presents credibility between the writer and his audience, that is to say the Ethos.

His main idea was to persuade the audience of the atrocities of slavery and that it should be abolished, so through his language eloquently paints a scenario that connects the emotions of the reader taking it to the persuasion of his main idea.

There are many different genres of fiction, each with its own distinct characteristics. Examples of genres include detective fic
skad [1K]
For me, personally, the genre I enjoy most and which is by far my favorite genre is fantasy. The works in this genre are The Lord of the Rings by Tolkien, A Song of Ice and Fire by George Martin, The Dark Tower by Stephen King, etc. What I like about this genre, apart from all the fantastic creatures and magic, is definitely the heroism and strength of many characters, who go through many perils throughout their quest. And of course, there are dragons. :)
There are some downsides to it, of course. If you don't like unrealistic situations, this is definitely not for you. Characters may often be portrayed as either good or bad, and you know that in the end, good always wins, which is not always the most interesting ending.
