When Obama says " Last year, we relied less on foreign oil, than in any of the past sixteen years" he is using persuasion. He is persuading the listener by appealing to their sense of being independent from having to get oil from some of the foreign countries that we were at war with. When he states "A strategy that's cleaner" he is appeasing the people who are environmentalists and who want to do what they can for the planet. He also manages to intrigue the common working man by stating that the country will be "full of new jobs."

Inessa [10]

Answer:

A story with a fully developed theme but significantly shorter and less elaborate than a novel. It includes point of view, setting, conflict, and climax.

Considering chapter 4 of "Great Gatsby," what is meant by Nick's comment below... Nick's comment: "Then it had not been merely t
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The first sentence refers to Daisy: the sole and intense purpose of Gatsby's existence. She represents that thing "beyond the stars" that Gatsby aspires to. His entire adult life has been devoted to becoming the kind of man he thought would be worthy for Daisy to marry. Daisy's family was wealthy and socially respectable; Gatsby came from nothing. Their youthful love affair ended in tragedy because Daisy felt she couldn't marry someone with no money or social standing. In becoming wealthy and socially viable, Gatsby also became decadent. The "purposeless splendor" of his lifestyle is revealed to be far deeper and more significant, as Nick realizes Gatsby's singular purpose is to win back Daisy. In Nick's eyes, this makes Gatsby even more impressive and admirable, because Gatsby represents chivalry and romance in a decadent modern age.

What are the key similarities between Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich and Edvard Munch's painting The Scream?
Lesechka [4]

Answer: The key similarities between "the death of Ivan llyich and "painting the screem" is that: both works show the artists' struggle with the concept of the afterlife.

Leo Tolstoy, a writer, is a great man in literature while Edvard Munch is a world renowned painter of "The Scream".

Tolstoy's work of "The Death of Ivan Ilyich" shows the primacy and elision of death, the consequences of living without meaning and without abiding to true connection of one's life.

Another similarity between Edvard and Tolstoy is their expression on human dependency on material needs. As a relation to Tolstoy's work, Edvard Munch work demonstrates the dependency of humans on their mateiral needs.
