For those who may think I exaggerate the contrast

English
1 answer:
Ivanshal [37]3 years ago
5 0

This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.

For those who may think I exaggerate the contrast between the former river canyon and the present man-made impoundment, I suggest a trip on Lake Powell followed immediately by another boat trip on the river below the dam. Take a boat from Lee's Ferry up the river to within sight of the dam, then shut off the motor and allow yourself the rare delight of a quiet, effortless drifting down the stream. ln that twelve-mile stretch of living green, singing birds, flowing water and untarnished canyon walls — sights and sounds a million years older and infinitely lovelier than the roar of motorboats — you will rediscover a small and imperfect sampling of the kind of experience that was taken away from everybody when the oligarch and politicians condemned our river for purposes of their own.

Which rhetorical technique is Abbey using in the underlined section of this excerpt?

A. Pathos

B. Ethos

C. Logos

D. Ad hominem

Answer: A. Pathos

Explanation:

Pathos is a rhetorical technique that appeals to an audience's emotions. To persuade them, an argument that creates an emotional reaction is made. Especially used in literature to spark specific feelings from readers. In this case, Abbey applies it by describing the "living green, singing birds" and how lovely the "sights and sounds" of the river are in order to make her point.

Man’s humanity to his fellow man
Reptile [31]

<em>The Lord of the Flies</em> was published in 1954, a few years after the end of World War II, and it was highly influenced by Golding's first-hand experience of the conflict - he had fought in it as a naval officer. In spite of the novel's pessimistic, yet sadly realistic, tone, its aim, I believe, is to stress the defects of humanity with the ultimate goal of encouraging it to improve and be kinder and more considerate. Hence the cultural relevance of this idea in the 1950s, when the world was still recovering from the largest and most terrible war in history, and it was necessary to remind its inhabitants of the importance of showing benevolence, compassion, disposition, and generosity, in other words, humanity, and of the dramatic consequences of not doing so, even through such bitter and harsh reminders as Golding's novel.

N76 [4]

Answer:

The message Huck finds inside the Bible that Sophia Grangerford has asked him to retrieve from the church is an example of understatement

Explanation:

An understatement is a phrase that describes something as not important or that reduces the importance of an event or information, then the little paper that says “Half-past two” seems to have no importance to Huck but later he discovered that it was a big deal in fact since the events that happened because of that paper really disturbed him.

According to Pi, why does the hyena not eat him or the zebra immediately?
Anvisha [2.4K]
"Pi hears snarls coming from the hyena and barks from the zebra, as well as wet mouth sounds". "Still the animals do not come near him. He hears sounds from under the boat and notes that the animals in the water are also battling for life." "After that first full night in the lifeboat, the sun rises, and Pi's thoughts turn to rescue and seeing his family again. But when he looks into the lifeboat, he sees an appalling sight: the hyena has bitten off the zebra's broken leg and is eating it. The zebra is alive, still silent but grinding his teeth." I feel like the hyena was waiting for the right time, to attack the zebra. And that the hyena didn't wanna attack him because someone could find him when it is light outside because it said " In the dark, a rescue ship won't be able to spot him, and the animals might attack him.
