In his 2012 State of the Union Address, President Barack Obama said: "Nowhere is the promise of innovation greater than in Ameri

can-made energy. We've opened millions of new acres for oil and gas exploration, and more than 75% of our potential offshore oil and gas resources. Right now, American oil production is the highest that it's been in 8 years. Last year, we relied less on foreign oil than in any of the past 16 years. But with only 2% of the world's oil reserves, oil isn't enough. This country needs an all-out, all-of-the-above strategy that develops every available source of American energy—a strategy that's cleaner, cheaper, and full of new jobs." Analyze the types of appeal used in President Obama's statement. Use your findings and examples from the text to explain whether this is an argument or persuasion. Answer in a minimum of three complete sentences.

<span>Well, he starts off by justifying his reasons with patriotism. "Nowhere is the promise of innovation greater than in American-made energy." He also uses facts and promises of a brighter future to gain an audience. "75% of our potential offshore oil and gas resources. Right now, American oil production is the highest that it's been in 8 years. Last year, we relied less on foreign oil than in any of the past 16 years." We also see more facts in his closing statements, "But with only 2% of the world's oil reserves, oil isn't enough" He then inadvertently talks about different types of energy sources. These being clean, reliable and opening jobs. This passively emphasizes that we need clean energy for ambiguous reasons, such as global warming and pollutants. It also gives the listeners hope of an increase in the job market. We know that America has had low job-rates lately, so the possibility of new jobs sparks a fire in the heart's of the people. Also, he mentions the gas will be cheaper, which is big, too, since our economy has gone through inflation and a financial depression, and because of this gas has skyrocketed. Cheaper gas motivates people to invest (Taxes?) in these new ideologies and technologies.

Hope this helps :)</span>

gladu [14]

Answer:

Poems lend themselves to different interpretations.

In what way did John Brown embody the Transcendentalist philosophy of Emerson and Thoreau? He died for a cause he believed in. H
just olya [345]

Answer: He used any means necessary to fight an unjust law.

In spite of the fact that Thoreau advocates peaceful activity in "Protection from Civil Government," he later upheld the savage activities of John Brown, who executed unarmed expert subjugation pilgrims in Kansas, and in 1859 assaulted the bureaucratic weapons store at Harper's Ferry, Virginia. In "A Plea for Captain John Brown," Thoreau depicts Brown as a "Holy messenger of Light" (R, 137) and "a visionary most importantly" (115) who trusted "that a man has an ideal appropriate to meddle by power with the slaveholder, so as to safeguard the slave" (R,132). In mid 1860, only months previously the episode of the Civil War, he and Emerson took an interest out in the open recognitions of Brown's life and activities.

Plz write letter to othello and convince him not to trust what iago tells him in the play❤️I’ll pay who ever writes the best 4 p
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Look beow.

Explanation:

Im going to provide a list of reasons why Othello shouldn't trust Iago:

-Iago is very manipulative. He manipulates people by giving them hope for something that they could never have. He changes the behaviors of certain characters so it benefits him.

-Iago is very selfish. When he wants something done he tricks people into thinking that he's an honest person but actually takes from them to benefit himself.

-Iago is disrespectful and doesn't treat people fairly. In Scene 2 act 1 (i think) he goes on and on about women an their evil-ish traits. He disrespects his wife and women in general.

-Iago is full of jelousy and revenge. Iago's main motive is to get revenge for Othello's choice of sleeping with his wife and loving Desdemona.

In conclusion Othello shouldn't trust Iago because he is manipulative, selfish, disrespectful, and is out for revenge. Writing 4 paragraphs is alot to ask forso instead I wrote 4 topics you could use for your paragraphs, I hope this helps you.
