A. the effects of violence. I believe this is correct. The speech I am reading is a Ceremony for the War Dead
, it mentions the effects of war a lot.
B. the difficulty of change. Although he mentions change, the theme is no the difficulty of change, maybe the necessity.
C. the quest for knowledge. In his speech there is no mention of the quest for knowledge.
D. the struggle for meaning. I do not see anything that mentions a struggle for meaning.
As you can see from above, the answer should be A.
Have a great day! :)
Answer:
Susan B. Anthony first stated the purpose of her speech was to prove that she "not only committed no crime, but, instead, simply exercised my citizen's rights, guaranteed to me and all United States citizens by the National Constitution, beyond the power of any state to deny."
Explanation:
Susan B. Anthony was a women's rights activist in America and a social reformer who was a pioneering figure for the women suffrage movement in America. She was convicted of unlawfully participating in the presidential elections of 1872 of which her speech was based on.
In the opening paragraph of her speech, Susan B. Anthony stated that her aim was to prove that she did not do anything wrong in participating in the election. She stated that she had been <em>"indict[ed] for the alleged crime of having voted at the last presidential election, without having a lawful right to vote"</em>. She then proceeded to state that her main aim for giving this speech was to prove that she <em>"not only committed no crime, but, instead, simply exercised my citizen's rights, guaranteed to me and all United States citizens by the National Constitution, beyond the power of any state to deny."</em>
Answer:
Logos
Explanation:
The appeal exhibited by the excerpt is none which appeals to the logic and rationality of the audience. This can be seen in what Anthony said in quote "I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke, But here I am to speak what I know". This can clearly e seen as an appeal to the audience reasoning ; awakening the audience senses of comparison between what he is about to say and what Brutus has said. He isn't appealing to the emotion of the audience, which could have meant pathos but their reasoning.
