Answer:

Imagery.

Explanation:

Imagery is the description of an act or anything verbally, giving a visual description of the literal words that were being said. It is a means of providing a visual image or symbolism to words that were said.

The poem "Tattoo" by Gregg Shapiro is about his father's experiences about his time during the Holocaust. The lines <em>"My father won't talk about the numbers"</em> and so on shows his reluctance to re-live the horrific experience of the holocaust. The lines<em> "his bone-crushing hugs"</em> are from the second paragraph of the poem where he, the poet, talks about his father's actions. This is a form of imagery, where the act of the hugging is given a verbal detailed description, allowing the readers to be able to visually imagine the act.

I have to write two small paragraphs on Should government provide health care? can someone help and just give me their opinion o
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

I would say that yes government should provide health care.

Explanation:

Start off your first paragraph with your opinion and add one reason. An example would be, Government should provide health care because reason 1. Discuss reason 1 in the first paragraph. For the second paragraph start the same way, I think government should provide health care because reason 2. If you have text then include quotes. In one of your paragraphs include a counter claim. Basically say, Some people may say government should not provide health care because (insert reason). Then say, this is not a realistic reason because..... At the end of your first paragraph write a transitional sentence such as, government has many other reasons to provide health care or something along that line. At the end of your second paragraph write a concluding sentence. For example, government should provide health care because reason 1 and reason 2 prove that it would be beneficial.  One reason you could use I thought of right away was so that people are able to care more about helping their child, significant other, mom, dad, etc get better than worry about how much money the life saving procedure is going to cost.  A reason you could say to not provide health care, is that insurance would most likely fight procedures more and it would be difficult to get treatments because if everyone can now get procedures they need for free, some people may not be accepted because they are not in as dire of circumstances. Overall, a general rule of thumb I use is pick the side that is easiest to support not what you necessarily agree with.
