Henry David Thoreau motivated people to be truthful and loyal, his main objective in writing was the unfair government.

Making a big emphasis on slavery and war, many of his arguments talk about changing the government by doing what we consider right.

A very important moment in his life, which made him write the book civil disobedience, was the legal conflict he had due to his refusal to pay taxes to a government who according to his opinion didn't deserve it.  

Having a heavy political an civil opinion he always showed that the biggest allegiance of man should be to the truth and to do the right thing as a society.

Write a paragraph explaining which appeals Herbert uses the most effectively- ethos, pathos, logos, or a combination of any of t
kiruha [24]

"Of the modes of persuasion furnished by the spoken word there are three kinds. The first kind depends on the personal character of the speaker [ethos]; the second on putting the audience into a certain frame of mind [pathos]; the third on the proof, or apparent proof, provided by the words of the speech itself [logos]. Persuasion is achieved by the speaker's personal character when the speech is so spoken as to make us think him credible."

Ethos (sometimes called an appeal to ethics), then, is used as a means of convincing an audience via the authority or credibility of the persuader, be it a notable or experienced figure in the field or even a popular celebrity.

Pathos (appeal to emotion) is a way of convincing an audience of an argument by creating an emotional response to an impassioned plea or a convincing story.

Logos (appeal to logic) is a way of persuading an audience with reason, using facts and figures.

What did Miss Spink give Coraline?
kaheart [24]

Answer:

Miss Spink gave her "a stone with a hole [that] went all the way through the middle of [it]. This stone helped her see through all things that were hidden by the "Other Mother".

Explanation:

Neil Gaiman's novella "Coraline" evolves around the story of Coraline and the parallel universe she discovered in her new home. And in that parallel universe, she has to fight an evil "Other Mother", the parallel character of her mother in the other universe, if she wants to keep her family safe.

Miss Spink was another tenant in the same building as Coraline and her family. When reading the tea leaves from Coraline's teacup, Miss Spink and Miss Forcible revealed that she is in danger. Miss Spink then gave her a <em>"stone with a hole [that] went all the way through the middle of the stone"</em>. The stone that Miss Spink gave her was to help keep her safe from danger. And this stone helped her see through things, unmasking everything hidden by the "Other Mother".
