What does the author’s language reveal about his tone toward the American Electoral college system? What rhetorical strategies d

oes he use to justify his perspective?
English

Bumek [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The author, Mike Kubic, has a negative tone towards the American Electoral college system in his 2016 article <em>The American Electoral Process.</em>

He is describing how it is unfair, costly, convoluted, not-entirely democratic, and with dubious results.

  • Unfair, because of the fact that some states (primarily, smaller ones) have more representatives per capita than their bigger counterparts.
  • Costly, because the candidates spend millions, if not billions of dollars running their campaigns.
  • Convoluted, because it takes many months, if not years to prepare.
  • Not-entire democratic, because the people don't vote for the president directly, but rather for representatives who will then choose the president.
  • With dubious results, because of the "super delegates" as well as the case of George W. Bush v. AL Gore he mentions in the article.

He uses many rhetorical strategies to support his perspective, primarily ethos: using quotes, numbers, and statistics to depict the unfairness of the system.

What weighs more? One ton of rocks or one ton of feathers?
Sloan [31]
One ton of rocks and one ton of feathers weigh the same. The word that makes both weights the same is the word ton. The weight measurement of ton has a specific number. What differs is if we count the number of feathers and number of rocks to achieve a one ton weight, there's a lesser number of rocks compared to feathers because a rock is always heavier than a feather.

Read the poem.
ANTONII [103]

The lines show that the speaker only pretends to have feelings for others.

The question asks how these lines show that the speaker uses people in relationships. The question suggests that the speaker's feelings are not truthful or passionate. This eliminates option D that the speaker has felt passion deeply. We also do not have any sense of embarrassment or appeal to emotions in these lines. The lines speak of a superficial connection with love's pleasure. These all suggest that the speaker does not have true feelings for others.
