Reverend Rector stepped up to his pulpit and glowered at his flock. "It's becoming obvious," he began, "that the devil himself i

s among us. I hear that members of my church are staying out late, going to bowling alleys, and in some cases even dancing! From now on, you shall cleave to my principles of no dancing, drinking, or bowling!"
That very night, the Reverend got a call from one of the flock that his son Rodney had been seen rather intoxicated at an all-night dance. The next morning when poor Rodney woke to both a massive hangover and an irate father, he simply replied that he had followed his father's sermon right to the letter. How could this be?

I am giving a Brainiest and a 73 points if you can solve this.

The word "cleave" has 2 opposite meanings. In some cases, it can mean to go with, follow or adhere to rules (which is what Reverend Rector meant). However, it has an equally acceptable meaning, which is to cut, to separate, or to go away from (which is what Rodney did).
Cleave is one of those words with multiple and opposite meanings, which makes their use ambiguous. Other examples exist, like the word "easterly", which can mean coming from the east or going to the east.

What does the ethos mean?
disa [49]

Answer:

Ethos is a persuasion method that is used to establish a person's credibility in a topic to convince a person or many people to join their side by using their character/credibility.

Explanation:

Ethos is one of the three persuasion methods originated from Greek that means 'character'. Ethos is when a person establishes their credibility in an argument which is then used to persuade the audience through the persons 'character.' One example of this in modern day advertisement is using a celebrity to promote a product. If it's a celebrity people will find them more credible, then the audience will become more willing to buy the product.

They're two other persuasion methods used often in modern day advertisement that are called: pathos, and logos. Which means emotion and logic, pathos convincing someone buy using their emotions. A good example of pathos are animal rescue commercials. Logos is using facts/logic to persuade the audience. A good example of logos is a medical commercial that shows data or results of their product working.

Hope this helps.

Chapter 10 summary the outsiders pls
NARA [144]
After Johnny’s death, Ponyboy wanders alone for hours until a man offers him a ride. The man asks Ponyboy if he is okay and tells him that his head is bleeding. Ponyboy feels vaguely disoriented. At home, he finds the greasers gathered in the living room and tells them that Johnny is dead and that Dally has broken down. Dally calls and says he just robbed a grocery store and is running from the police. The gang rushes out and sees police officers chasing him. Dally pulls out the unloaded gun he carries, and the police shoot him. Dally collapses to the ground, dead. Ponyboy muses that Dally wanted to die. Feeling dizzy and overwhelmed, Ponyboy passes out.

When Ponyboy wakes, Darry is at his side. Ponyboy learns that he got a concussion when a Soc kicked him in the head during the rumble, and that he has been delirious in bed for three days.

Analysis: Chapters 9–10
Underlying the struggle between the Socs and the greasers is the struggle between the instinct to make peace and the social obligation to fight. Hinton turns the rumble into a moral lesson. The fight begins when Darry Curtis and Paul Holden face off; the fact that Darry and Paul were high school friends and football teammates suggests that their rivalry need not exist—that money makes enemies of natural friends. Ponyboy’s comment that they used to be friends but now dislike each other because one has to work for a living while the other comes from the leisurely West Side emphasizes the artificial and unnecessary nature of their animosity. While this animosity seems pointless, each gang member who fights still feels a responsibility to his gang to hate the other gang.

Ponyboy feels this tension within him before the fight. His instincts tell him to skip the rumble, as he knows in his heart that violence won’t solve anything. His hesitation after speaking with Randy and his decision to take five aspirin before the fight show that he is emotionally and physically unprepared for the ordeal. Nevertheless, Ponyboy ignores his instincts and goes through with the fight because he wants to please his social group. His participation in the rumble cements his place in the gang; he is no longer a tagalong little brother but rather a fighter in his own right.
