What is twain's claim in the lowest animal?

1 answer:

6 0

I have been scientifically studying the traits and dispositions of the "lower animals" (so-called), and contrasting them with the traits and dispositions of man. I find the result humiliating to me. For it obliges me to renounce my allegiance to the Darwinian<span>theory of the Ascent of Man from the Lower Animals; since it now seems plain to me that the theory ought to be vacated in favor of a new and truer one, this new and truer one to be named the Descent of Man from the Higher Animals.</span>

Which of the following would be the most effective thesis statement for an informative speech?

docker41 [41]

The correct answer is A: Three major themes of Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter are sin, forgiveness, and past vs. present.

Remember that a thesis statement is a one-sentence summary of an essay's main ideas. Because it is a summary, it should give a clear overview of the paper's main points.

Answer B does not fit this criteria -- what, specifically, is the symbolism the paper will discuss? This statement does not say; therefore, it is not an acceptable thesis.

Answer C is a question; therefore, it is automatically not a thesis statement.

Answer D sounds good, but it's either not a thesis for an informative paper or it is an analysis that should come somewhere later in a paper. It doesn't summarize the main points of the paper; it only draws a conclusion.

Answer A is the best answer. Notice that it names both the author and the title of the work being discussed, and it provides an oveview of the paper's main points. This thesis says it will discuss three themes and then specifically lists those themes. This is a good thesis for an informative paper.

Therefore, Answer A is the best thesis statement for an informative speech.

Read this excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass.

fiasKO [112]

<h3>Answer: Choice D</h3>

...he that was strongest secured the best place; and few left the trough satisfied

============================================================

Explanation:

Frederick Douglass is describing the horrific conditions of what kind of food he ate and the conditions in which he had his meals. At the start of the paragraph, he describes the food itself (a corn meal called Mush). Then later on he describes how the food was served in a very degrading inhumane way (the food being served in a trough; effectively treating them as animals). Shortly after, he goes over how the food was eaten through a variety of means: use of oyster shells, shingles, or bare hands. None of which involves the regular utensils you'd expect such as a spoon.

At the very end of the excerpt, Frederick Douglass mentions that "He that ate the fastest got most; he was strongest secured the best place; and few left the trough satisfied". This effectively means that even though the food itself was horrible, and the conditions degrading, people were still hungry and had no other choice. Also, even the people who were able to eat the most weren't truly/fully fed.

So in short, the last part of the excerpt describes that the slaves weren't fed enough. If we could narrow down the cited evidence as much as possible, the portion that mentions "few left the trough satisfied" is the thing you should focus on.

What are the central ideas of smiths text, and what is the purpose of his account? Cite evidence for the text in your response

kirza4 [7]

Smiths text is the historical backdrop of Virginia. Smith looked for new monetary open doors. While hunting down assets Smith and his men are as far as anyone knows, assaulted by Indians. The Indians slaughter the men that Smith was joined by amid his mission. They save Smith's life in return for his compass as that was something new and valuable for them. The Indian chief Powhatan needs Smith murdered, however his girl Pocahontas protects Smith. Smith's text is depicted as a romantic tale by a few, while others trust it is white men taking property and another society's ladies.
