List two ways the Declaration of Independence was an effective argumentative writing piece.
sineoko [7]

Answer:

The reason why the Declaration of Independence is so persuasive is that Jefferson uses deductive arguments, which includes examples of Britain’s wrong doings, which gives the person reading the document a chance to see exactly why they are breaking from Great Britain.  One of the strongest deductive arguments in the declaration is, “That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among men”.  This means that any legitimate government is created to protect peoples’ rights such as, “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness”.  Throughout the declaration Jefferson shows how Great Britain is not protecting their rights, but interfering with them.  For example, he states how the king keeps sending over soldiers and expects the people to house and feed them.  How would you feel if the government just placed a stranger in your home and told you he could eat your hard-earned food?  These soldiers were also allowed to disobey the laws in the colonies and not be punished for them.  This is not what you call protecting peoples’ rights; it is more like invading them.  Another very strong deductive argument in this document is, “deriving their just power from the consent of the governed”.  This means any power or authority that a government has is given to them by the consent of the people, but this right like many others was abused too.  For instants, Jefferson wrote that they have “Petitioned for redress” repeatedly, meaning they sent many petitions to the king about many unfair problems in the colonies, wanting to come to some type of agreement.  Nevertheless, the king does not answer them but continues to hurt them.  This shows that the king did not care about the peoples’ consent; therefore, he is not implicating a just government and they have the right to break free from Great Britain.

Please help with essay of 300-350 words with heading.....I thought i had a friend​
stealth61 [152]

Answer:I wish there was a way that we can detect a good friend from a bad friend before all the hurt and confusion. So many people have been through many friendships throughout high school, but only a few have actually made it to college with their best friends. I thought I had the best best friend in high school, but that all changed once we started to mature. It all began one day at American High school, my best friend, Natalie, gave me the cold shoulder and stopped talking to me the whole class period. I tried writing her notes, making her laugh, and even helping her with her work but nothing changed. The next class period I asked one of Natalie 's friends, Malarie, what happened and she told me,"She doesn 't want to be your friend anymore." At that moment I didn't know what to think or do.

What did I do? Did I say something that made her mad? I got home and went straight to my room and told my mom that I wasn't hungry, later that night I tried to fall asleep but my mind was going haywire. We 'd been friends for almost five years and she just wanted to stop being friends for no reason? Something had to have happened.      The next day I walked right up to her and asked, "What 's wrong, what did I do for you to stop being my friend?", and she replied with, "I heard you was talking about me." When I heard that I saw red, I would never talk about my best friend to anyone, but what really confused me was that she was my only friend so who could I have said that too? She turned her back to me and ended the conversation, that really hurt but I left, but not without telling her, " You 're my best friend, I could never do that to you. But if you 're willing to believe that maybe this friendship wasn't meant to be." If she was a real friend she would've known that I 'd never have done that. I saw her across the hall later that day and she walked pass without glancing my way. She was hanging out with the well-known girls that didn't like me, I then realized she had stopped being my friend for those girls. From that day on I pick and choose who to start hanging out with because not everyone can be a real and true friend. That 's why I have trust issues, because I told her everything and trusted her and she threw away our friendship like it was trash, when it was supposed to be cherished. I treated her as if she was my sister, but some people have little feelings and that there are people like me that will try their best to be a best friend, who wants a friend that 'll stand by me as I equally stand by them that anyone could wish that it lasted. And I thought i had a friend.
