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."

Whats outling a paragraph mean
wariber [46]

Once a topic has been chosen, ideas have been generated through brainstorming and free writing, and a working thesis has been created, the last step a writer can perform in the prewriting stage is creating an outline. An outline allows a writer to categorize the main points, to organize the paragraphs into an order that makes sense, and to make sure that each paragraph/idea can be fully developed. Essentially, an outline helps prevent a writer from getting stuck when performing the actual writing of the essay.  

An outline provides a map of where to go with the essay. A well-developed outline will show what the thesis of the essay is, what the main idea of each body paragraph is, and the evidence/support that will be offered in each paragraph to substantiate the main points.
