“Revenge of the Geeks” is an argument, a type of nonfiction in which a writer states a claim, or position on a debatable issue,

and then defends that claim with sound reasoning and evidence. Evidence includes facts, data, information, explanations, anecdotes, quotations, examples, and any other details that support the writer’s reasons or main claim. When reading an argument, it is important to evaluate both the writer’s reasoning and the quality of the evidence he or she uses to support it.
Directions: Answer the following questions.
1. How does Robbins support her claim that the qualities that make students outcasts in high school are those that make them successful in adulthood?
2. How does Robbins develop her argument that being popular in high school may actually work against people when they enter the adult world?
3. Use the chart to identify the types of evidence Robbins uses and to evaluate its credibility and relevance.
4. Write a paragraph in which you evaluate the validity of Robbins’s argument. Cite evidence from your chart as examples.

\What is the purpose of the dashes in this excerpt from "Totally like whatever, you know?" "Declarative sentences—so--called bec
exis [7]

Answer and explanation:

The purpose of using dashes in this excerpt is to set off an appositive sentence that contains commas. An appositive sentence is a structure that offers further information on something mentioned before it. Appositives can usually be set off by commas but, when they are long and present commas in their own structure, they are set off by dashes.

In the excerpt we are studying here, the appositive "-so-called because they used to, like, DECLARE things to be true, okay, as opposed to other things are, like, totally, you know, not-" is a very long one and full of commas. It is supposed to offer further information on what declarative sentences are.

Giver
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Prompt 1: The society in the Giver, is structured in such a way that promotes security over freedom. The people have no choices or freedom of any kind, yet they don't need to worry about getting enough resources, or basic survival needs because everything is planned out by the government.

Prompt 2: I would say that the attitude toward euthanasia is mostly accepted because that is what is written into the society, and part of your planned out life. However, I think you would need to go back to the text and pay attention to the tone and word choices around that subject.
