We learned about different types of argumentative techniques, or appeals, when we studied Thomas Paine’s from Common Sense. Read

the first paragraph of Last Rites for Indian Dead. What if museums, universities, and government agencies could put your dead relatives on display or keep them in boxes to be cut up and otherwise studied? What if you believed that the spirits of the dead could not rest until their human remains were placed in a sacred area? What type of argument or appeal is Susan Harjo making in this paragraph?

In this opening paragraph Susan Harjo is appealing to <u>emotion</u>. She uses shock tactics to raise the reader's consciousness. By inviting readers to imagine an abhorrent situation that might affect them personally, she brings her argument close to home in a powerful way, Her "what if" sentences are a striking way to introduce her argument for outlawing commercial transactions in Indian artifacts.

One of my favorite quotes by Anne Frank is “ Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.” Anne Frank was a Jewis
uranmaximum [27]





(Put this very first quote in italics!)



‘Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.’

Anne Frank was a Jewish girl who believed that everyone was good at heart. She was born on June 12, 1929 and died an early death at age 16. Her strengths—some of which are charisma, optimism, and a loving spirit—surpassed her weaknesses, and she continues to be an admirable role model for anyone.


Throughout the play, I could see that Anne is a compassionate person. This is most evident to me in Act Two, Scene Three; Mr. Van Daan steals bread, and Mrs. Frank wants to put the Van Daans out. Evicting them would put them into a dangerous situation, one that could end in death or imprisonment. Anne intervenes quickly, showing compassion for the Van Daans despite her indifference to the family. Another scene where Anne shows compassion is Act Two, Scene Four. Peter is upset because the Franks and Van Daan’s have been hiding for two years. Anne then steps in and says, ‘It'll pass, maybe not for hundreds of years, but someday...I still believe in spite of everything people are really good at heart.’ Despite her bitter, unfair situation, Anne showed grace and compassion’s towards everyone.



Another characteristic of Anne’s that stands out to me is her generosity. In Act Two, Scene Five, Anne made everyone Hanukkah gifts, even though she doesn’t get along with most of the people in the Annex. Anne showed her generosity in more of a metaphorical way when she tells Peter in Act Two, Scene 4: ‘You know what I do when it seems as if I couldn’t stand being cooped up for one more minute? I think myself out.’ She shares her wisdom with someone she used to dislike, and tries her best to help out her friend.


Anne also shows that she is optimistic. In Act One, Scene Three, Mr. Van Daan tells Anne to behave like her older sister, Margot. Anne replies with optimism and fire. “I’d cut my throat first! I’d open my veins! I’m going to be great! I'm going to Paris!” This quote demonstrates that Anne sees herself escaping the Annex. In Act One, Scene Four Anne talks about her future children, another demonstration of her optimistic beliefs that her family will escape the Annex safely and live a normal life in the future.


Anne Frank made an impact on many people simply with her words. She inspires me to strive to be a better person, and to look for the best in everyone. The characteristics that I have are optimism and compassion. I demonstrate optimism by seeing the good things among all the bad. I show compassion by seeing the best in people, even those who are unfair and treat me badly. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and kindness. Anne Frank was also generous.

Okay, hope this helps!
I changed two of the characteristics you used because the way you used them didn’t fit the definitions;

Charisma: Compelling attractiveness or charm that can inspire devotion in others.

She was charismatic because she was kind, loyal, generous, etc. She didn’t have charisma by your definition though, she had compassion.

Admirable: Arousing or deserving respect and approval.

Anne was an admirable person, you’re right on that, but it’s an adjective. If you’re describing characteristics or traits, try to use nouns and ‘supporting adjectives’, e.g ‘compassion’ and ‘respectful’ or ‘generosity’ and ‘kind’.

Which two sentences support the claim that Americans have greater equality than people in other countries?
adapted from "What is an American?" in Letters from an American Farmer
by J. Hector St. John Crevecoeur

I wish I could be acquainted with the feelings and thoughts which must agitate the heart and present themselves to the mind of an enlightened Englishman, when he first lands on this continent. He must greatly rejoice that he lived at a time to see this fair country discovered and settled; he must necessarily feel a share of national pride, when he views the chain of settlements which embellishes these extended shores. When he says to himself, this is the work of my countrymen, who, when convulsed by factions, afflicted by a variety of miseries and wants, restless and impatient, took refuge here. They brought along with them their national genius, to which they principally owe what liberty they enjoy, and what substance they possess.
Here he sees the industry of his native country displayed in a new manner, and traces in their works the embryos of all the arts, sciences, and ingenuity which flourish in Europe.Here he beholds fair cities, substantial villages, extensive fields, an immense country filled with decent houses, good roads, orchards, meadows, and bridges, where an hundred years ago all was wild, woody and uncultivated!What a train of pleasing ideas this fair spectacle must suggest; it is a prospect which must inspire a good citizen with the most heartfelt pleasure.
The difficulty consists in the manner of viewing so extensive a scene. He is arrived on a new continent; a modern society offers itself to his contemplation, different from what he had hitherto seen. It is not composed, as in Europe, of great lords who possess everything and of a herd of people who have nothing. Here are no aristocratical families, no courts, no kings, no bishops, no ecclesiastical dominion, no invisible power giving to a few a very visible one; no great manufacturers employing thousands, no great refinements of luxury. The rich and the poor are not so far removed from each other as they are in Europe. Some few towns excepted, we are all tillers of the earth, from Nova Scotia to West Florida. We are a people of cultivators, scattered over an immense territory communicating with each other by means of good roads and navigable rivers, united by the silken bands of mild government, all respecting the laws, without dreading their power, because they are equitable.We are all animated with the spirit of an industry which is unfettered and unrestrained, because each person works for himself.
If he travels through our rural districts he views not the hostile castle, and the haughty mansion, contrasted with the clay-built hut and miserable cabin, where cattle and men help to keep each other warm, and dwell in meanness, smoke, and indigence.A pleasing uniformity of decent competence appears throughout our habitations.The meanest of our log-houses is a dry and comfortable habitation. Lawyer or merchant are the fairest titles our towns afford; that of a farmer is the only appellation of the rural inhabitants of our country.
We have no princes, for whom we toil, starve, and bleed: we are the most perfect society now existing in the world.Here man is free; as he ought to be; nor is this pleasing equality so transitory as many others are.Many ages will not see the shores of our great lakes replenished with inland nations, nor the unknown bounds of North America entirely peopled.Who can tell how far it extends? Who can tell the millions of men whom it will feed and contain? For no European foot has as yet travelled half the extent of this mighty continent!

Read the following paragraph:
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Brownies made from a mix are vastly underrated and can be baked to suit any taste.

Explanation:

  Subjective language is emotive language, which means the author is stating their opinion. The answer expresses the authors opinion on brownies from a mix being underrated. The other three answer choices use objective language, meaning the author is only stating facts or observations.

Do you believe higher education is equal today for all students? Think of those that come from disadvantaged backgrounds? How ca
insens350 [35]

Answer:

IT depends but mostly yes.

Explanation:

By higher education I suppose you mean college, and university. I do believe family's with lower income can not always afford to send there children to a college or a university. However, say that child earns a scholarship online or through the school. Say, though that that specific scholarship does not give full coverage. That person can get a job, part, or full time, and make some money that way, or perhaps ask their parents for a small allowance. A way that this can be prevented, however, is lowering the cost of going to a college or university. By doing this the money wont be as big of a problem for low income parents. Even if the low income parents still don't have enough money at this point maybe the government can create a program in helping low income family by supporting them and giving their child some financial aid.
