kvv77 [185]
The characteristic so his poems discussed in the background section hold good in the case of ‘Come Thunder’ too. The style, tone, and techniques used are much like those found in modernist poets. <span>But the rhythm is essentially non-English. Abundant use of plosive sounds, in words and lines give a pattern to the poem. All this give the poem onomatopoeic effect which is in tune with the main motif of the poem – thunder.</span>

Which excerpt from Fast Food Nation best illustrates the author’s use of the rhetorical appeal logos? Her family’s modest townho
MariettaO [177]

The excerpt from Fast Food Nation that best illustrates the author's use of the rhetorical appeal logos is "English is now the second language of at least one-sixth of the nation's restaurant workers, and about one-third of that group speaks no English at all".

The fast-food chains began to hire other marginalized workers: recent immigrants, the elderly, and the handicapped. The amount of fast food workers who cannot speak English is very high. Many of them only know the names of the items on the menu; they speak "McDonald's English".
