r rough draft as well as the précis and give a suitable title to it.
‘‘Edison”, said the General, ‘how much do you want for your “Universal Printer?” This was a very important moment. Edison thought that five thousand dollars would be a suitable price, but he was ready to take three thousand or even less.
Luckily for him he decided that it might be better to leave the matter to the general and asked him what he thought would be the right price. “Would forty thousand dollars suit you?” asked the General.
Edison was so astonished and excited that he almost felt his heart stop beating. At last he said thoughtfully, “yes I think that is fair.” ‘All right,’ said the general, ‘I will have an agreement drawn up; come round in three days and I will give you the money.’ (Word Count 127)

what is Paine calculating will be the result of the ethical appeal he uses in lines 37-47? (The Crisis by Thomas Paine)
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Thomas uses the ethical appeal towards how a parent should behave, "if there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace". He aims to give the public a sense of duty, that their young ones would not see struggle. He persuaded the American colonists to defend their Continent by convincing them that they are entitled to a life of freedom and happiness, and that "America will never be happy 'till she gets clear of foreign dominion" meaning that their life and happiness depends on their victory against the British.
