English

Alik [6]3 years ago

Answer:

option A. In "A Modest Proposal" Jonathan Swift criticizes society by suggesting that people care so little about children they would be willing to sell and eat them.

Explanation:

"A Modest Proposal" was anonymously published by Swift in 1729. In it, the author argues, ironically, that a suitable solution for helping the starving children of Ireland would be to fatten them all and later feed them to the rich Irish land-owners. By suggesting these, Swift is giving the statement that the Irish society, specially the high class of land owners, care so little about the children that they would be more willing to sell them and eat them than to actually help them.

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

1. You write your state or federal senator about your idea.

2. Your congressman sponsors a bill.

3. The bill is sent to a Committee for its study.

4. If committee approves of the relevance and usefulness of the bill it is put on a schedule that will define the date when it will be debated, amended if necessary and/or voted.

5. The bill goes to the House for action.

6. If the bill is approved by the vote (simple majority) it is sent to the senate.

7. The bill goes through a similar process in the Senate and may be sent back to the House of Representatives if it has been changed. Then it is voted again by both chambers and sent to the president who will either veto it or sign it into law within ten days.

Both the Senate and the House have to agree on the final version of the bill and it is not uncommon for a bill to go back and forth between both chambers several times

Which questions does a reader need to ask to find a claim?
bixtya [17]

Answer:

A reader needs to ask, what does the author want to convince you of.

Explanation:

If asking the authors position, you will only find the opinion of the author. While this can also be used to find a claim it isn't always the most effective.

If asking what the issue is in general, you can't find the authors claim from the start.

If asking the reasons, that will help you find the reasoning, not the claim.

Answer:

Hurston's purpose in writing "How it Feels to be Colored like Me" is to assert her pride in being black. She pushes back against the idea, articulated by many of her black friends during the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s, that segregation and racial discrimination harmed the black soul and needed to be addressed.
