Which sentence in this excerpt from Eleanor Roosevelt's speech "What Libraries Mean to the Nation" is an emotional appeal to the

audience? I know one place in the northern part of the state where I camped for a while in the summer, and I went to the school and talked to the teachers. They are using school books which have been passed down from one child to another. They have practically no books outside of the textbooks. The children in the district are so poor and some of them so pathetic that I suppose the struggle to live has been so great you could not think much about what you fed the mind, but I came away feeling that right there, in one of the biggest and richest states in the country, we had a big area that needed books and needed libraries to help these schools in the education of the children, and, even more, to help the whole community to learn to live through their minds. We are doing a tremendous amount through the home economics colleges to help people to learn how to live in their homes, to better their standards of material living. We have got to think in exactly the same way about helping them to live mentally and to attain better standards, and we can do it only through the children. We can do ground work with the children; we must begin with them; but we have got to do a tremendous amount with the older people. NextReset

We can do ground work with the children; we must begin with them; but we have got to do a tremendous amount with the older people.


That sentence act as an emotional appeal because indicates that they transferred the hopes from the current generation to the future generation. But in order to do that, the older generation must first make a huge sacrifice to open the path for the future generation.

Can someone write me a five-paragraph essay on "The White Umbrella" please? I'll give Brainliest and 60 points! Or just tell me
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

She then realizes just how important of a role her mom plays in her life. In the story The White Umbrella, the narrator, a young girl Chinese girl that goes to school with Americans, and has seemed that she has not completely found herself yet. Her mother and father both work. She shows her embarrassment of her mother working. After school, her sister and her take piano lessons at Miss Crossman’s house. While she sat and waited on her turn she spotted the white umbrella. She thought that she needed to hold it to fit in with others.

Her mother has told her that they can not afford extra things for them to have. She wants to have things like others instead of just showing herself and accepting that she can not have all the extra things like other kids. When her turn came to play the piano she tries’s her best to try and impress Miss Crossman. The narrator shows her insecurity by not accepted Miss Crossman’s ride, instead of walking in the rain. After piano lessons they waited outside in the rain. She offered them to come inside and she refused to do it.

Mona, the narrator’s sister finally decides to go inside. Miss Crossman goes outside and talks to the narrator. The narrator lies to Miss Crossman and tells her that her family drives a Convertible, and that her mother, a concert pianist, will come to pick them up anytime. Miss Crossman gives the white umbrella to her. She tells Miss Crossman that she wishes that she would have been her mother. The narrator begins to feel guilty, and that the Umbrella shows her disobedience towards her mother.

After their mom finally shows up, she hides the umbrella underneath her clothing so that her mother does not see. They get into a car wreck on the way home. She sees that her mom’s eyes are closed. She begins to think her mother may have died. She decides to scream. Then she sees that her mom just closed her eyes because things have frustrated her. When her mother gets out the car to talk to the other people in the accident, she throws the umbrella down the sewer.

This shows that you should never show ungratefulness for what you have. It does not matter about what you need to fit in with the people around you. It only matters what you need to live well. The white Umbrella, an informal story, it gives a life lesson. It can also entertain anyone who wants to read it. The narrator now knows how important her mother’s role has on her life. Hopefully she will show herself for now on instead of trying to carry on like others around her.

Re-read the following line from section 3 :“Social Needs”: “An anorexic, for example, may ignore the need to eat and the securit
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

C. Providing an example of a disease that commonly manifests during Level 3

Explanation:

An anorexic person is one who has a eating disorder that causes him/her to be obsessive with what they eat as well as their weight. It is characterised by an inordinate fear of being overweight

The author was discussing around man's needs & how that man cannot escape those basic needs. Maslows introduced the concept of hierarchy of needs & classified them into 5 strata namely: psychological, security/safety, social, esteem & self-actualization (the Maslows pyramid is attached). Maslows proposed that people would fulfil the fundamental needs before moving on to other needs. As such, an anorexic is only trying to shy away from his/her fundamental & basic need (in this case, food). But much more in this case, the anorexic person is staying off food to fulfil his/her <u>social need</u> (to 'belong' & be accepted). <u>We see that anorexia can be an offshoot of social need</u>

<u>Hence, the author is pointing out a disease that could arise on the third level of the hierarchical needs. This means option C is the correct answer</u>
