Read this excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. It is possible, and even quite probable, that but for the me

re circumstance of being removed from that plantation to Baltimore, I should have to-day, instead of being here seated by my own table, in the enjoyment of freedom and the happiness of home, writing this Narrative, been confined in the galling chains of slavery. Going to live at Baltimore laid the foundation, and opened the gateway, to all my subsequent prosperity. I have ever regarded it as the first plain manifestation of that kind providence which has ever since attended me, and marked my life with so many favors. I regarded the selection of myself as being somewhat remarkable. There were a number of slave children that might have been sent from the plantation to Baltimore. There were those younger, those older, and those of the same age. I was chosen from among them all, and was the first, last, and only choice. Which of these predictions is best supported by the information provided? Douglass will work to help others because he is aware of his own good fortune. Douglass will own a plantation of his own because he is an extremely wealthy man. Douglass will rescue all the other enslaved persons from his plantation because he is powerful. Douglass will encourage enslaved persons to come to Baltimore because it is a city of promise.

<span> Douglass will work to help others because he is aware of his own good fortune. 

Options 2 and 3 are the first to be eliminated. Nothing in the passage suggests that Douglass is a wealthy man who wants his own plantation or that he is powerful. Option 4 is also not a good choice. Even though Douglass speaks frequently of Baltimore, he never calls it a city of promise or talks about encouraging anyone. The first option is the best choice because he speaks about his good fortune. He mentions how he was the only one saved when he says, "first, last, and only choice". He talks about his life being "marked with favors" and his rescue as "somewhat remarkable".

Old major’s argumentative essay
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Old Major's speech was directed to the animals. It was about over throwing the man and the animals should take over. It was all a rebellion. In this short essay I will describe the persuasive techniques used by Old Major to persuade his fellow animals to follow his dreams. I will include quotes and other important features used by Orwell. The main part of his speech is on his dream.

  Old Major the 'Middle White Boar' chooses the place and the time to make his speech very carefully. From this we can infer that he has taken his time to analyse successful techniques employed by other famous speakers from the past. In addition Old Major has a title and that is he…show more content…

Comrades are Old Major's main word in the speech to attract the audience to him.

  Before he starts the speech on his dream he does an intro on his and says he will die soon. He convinces the audience that they understand his concerns and that the animals and him share interests in common and one of the interests Orwell states is that 'our lives are miserable, laborious and short.' The point of this line is that Old Major is trying to tell the animals everyone dies and that it is nature. In addition he establishes his expertise or personal experience to convince his fellow creatures that the farm will be able to 'support a dozen horses, twenty cows, hundreds of sheep.' This is also an example of using the list of 3 on a rhetorical device.

  Another well thought of persuasive technique is that Orwell makes Old Major use repetition when he says the seven commandments 'No animal must ever live in a house, No animal must ever sleep in a bed, No animal must ever wear clothes, No animal must ever drink alcohol, No animal must ever smoke tobacco.' Old major's employs a lot of rhetorical questions that he answers afterward one of them was about a fellow animal called Clover here is the rhetorical question 'where are

frutty [35]

Answer:

For 1. This shows that removing a strong man like Caesar causes chaos due to the strong grip he had on society many were outraged by Brutus' killing of his friend and saw it as betrayal.

For 2. That it may corrupt those who wield it causing them to act only for themselves. And if someone who wields it is unstable they can cause a complete breakdown of society.
