Use of the second person (the pronoun “you”), over the first
and third person, is a technique that an author will use in order to better
interact with readers and engage them.
When one reads the pronoun “you,” one will generally feel as if the
author or writer of a text is speaking directly to him or her. This will, most evidently, draw readers into
what they are reading because the message will seem more personal with the use
of second person than with first or third.
With that in mind, of the possible responses for this question, “A. It
pulls the reader into the text,” seems to be the most appropriate.
Answer:
B. A faster pace would have been more appropriate for the speech’s content and audience.
Explanation:
Mateo is speaking to the audience and refers to the audience as US indicating he is talking to fellow students about the injustice of the strict snow days.
Children are more likely to get bored listening to a talker with a professional tone or if the speaker is being more casual then the audience would think the speech is not important allowing the audience to miss the speech before it has even begun.
But by making the speech faster you are allowing the audience to begin to believe on their own about the injustice and it begins to work up their blood pressure.
Hitler was very good at getting the people to believe in what he wished because he made his speeches short and fast.
