Exposition is a literary device used to introduce background information about events, settings, characters etc. to the audience or readers. The word comes from the Latin language and its literal meaning is “a showing forth.” Exposition is crucial to any story, for without it nothing makes sense... therefore, you would go with, " Get away from that desk or I will burn this document" because its the answer

Recognizing emotional appeal chief joseph i will fight for no more forever
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

- He uses descriptive and emotional words like 'tired', 'sad and sick', 'no more fight', etc. helps persuade his people to surrender.

Explanation:

In his speech 'I will fight no more forever', chief Joseph primarily aims to proclaim the surrender of Nez Perce before Colonel Nelson Miles. His speech primarily aimed to proclaim this surrender before his people and convince them to be a part of it and not promote the war anymore.

To make his purpose successful, he uses a very descriptive language and discusses the amazing time he had experience in that place('beautiful valley of winding waters') as a child and declares his surrender saying 'tired of war', 'sad and sick', and will not continue this anymore. The use of such a descriptive language evokes the feelings of sadness and sympathy of the listeners and convinces them and Nez Perce surrendered.

NEED ANSWER ASAP!!! Compare the written description of the Boston Massacre to the image depicting this historical event. Which d
Mademuasel [1]

Both the painting and the written description depict a scene where both sides of the conflict seem completely confused as to the real reason for what it turned out to be a deadly confrontation.

The written account elaborates somewhat methodically the actions that led, step by step to the escalation of what originally was nothing but an argument between a soldier or sentry and a robe maker. The perennial curiosity of the nearby masses and the somewhat well established intransigence of law enforcement individuals clashed drastically and led to a tragic result that could've been easily avoided if cooler heads had prevailed. The depiction of the man in charge of the soldiers as a man not fit for the job seems to confirm the fact that a more disciplined superior would've been able to restrain his forces until the situation or issue at stake was clarified among the quarreling parties.

Finally, the painting only depicts the firing of the lined up soldiers against a revolting crowd on the other side but provides no clues as to what was the reason that led to the moment being depicted when the bayonets are being fired at short range in a firing squad like manner.
