Read the excerpt from The Crisis, Number IV. “Howe is now weaker than before, and every shot will contribute to reduce him. You

are more immediately interested than any other part of the continent: your all is at stake; it is not so with the general cause; you are devoted by the enemy to plunder and destruction: it is the encouragement which Howe, the chief of plunderers, has promised his army.” Why is the repetition of “you” in this sentence an effective rhetorical technique?

The excerpt is from Thomas Paine's The American Crisis pamphlet series which was active during American Revolution. The purpose of the writings were to attract colonists to support the war against Great Britain. Therefore, the repetition shows that the readers have a personal interest in America's success in the war.

Read the excerpt from "Harrison Bergeron." "I am the Emperor!" cried Harrison. "Do you hear? I am the Emperor! Everybody must do
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question: What do Harrison´s words and actions reveal about his character, would be, B: He wants to rebel against the law and show off his superior gifts.

Explanation:

Harrison Bergeron" is a science fiction, dystopian short story that was written by author Kurt Vonnegut, and it was first published in 1961. The story is set in the year 2081, when the U.S Constitution, through several Amendments has ordered that all citizens must be alike, all must have the same abilities, physical aspects, and capabilitie as the others, thus reaching absolute, and real, equality. In order to achieve this, the government takes steps to ensure that no one is more beautiful, better physically endowed, or better prepared, than the others. However, Harrison, son of George and Hazel Bergeron, has been born athletic, beautiful, tall and very intelligent, and he refuses to adapt to society´s impositions, for which he is taken to prison. When Harrison gets out of jail, he goes to a T.V station where he takes over for a moment and declares himself Emperor, and a ballerina, his Empress. He takes off his handicaps and those of the ballerina, and in this excerpt, he tries to take control of the stituation, take over power, and show the world that it is BECAUSE of his superior circumstances that he can have the power. This is a clear intent by Harrison to rebel against what has been the standard until then, oppose it and show that his superior conditions make him the best, and most appropriate, to rule.
