Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Independence was published in year of 1776 is said to be a form of text that uses "pathos" as it appeals to emotions when it calls for a sense of empathy from the crown by making a list of  percieved acts of tyranny from the king George III.

Specifically in the last 5 abuses, from 23 to 27 it makes a reference to the acts of the King: To suppress the colonial rebellion through violence and military means to attack the colonists. They burned towns and attacked ships.

By this writting is is evident that the author was trying to persuade and gain the audience, emotionally speaking.

The main purpose of the Declaration of Independence was to state the fact that the colonies wanted to become independent from England. However, Jefferson wanted all people affected (both colonists and Englishmen) to understand why the colonists decided to declare independence.

In order to achieve this purpose, Jefferson employs various devices, one of which is pathos. Pathos refers to a rhetorical appeal based on emotions. In order to achieve this, Jefferson presents several arguments that are intended to give rise to an emotional response on the part of the readers. One example of this is the fact that Jefferson talks about the actions on the part of the king of England. He is considered to have been unresponsive and unsympathetic to the plight of the colonists. By presenting this argument, Jefferson hopes to convince the readers of the importance and legitimacy of independence.

What causes Macbeth to realize that he has been misled by the prophecies? Choose two options.
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

c. the revelation of how Macduff was born

d. the news that soldiers carrying boughs from Birnam Wood are approaching

Explanation:

Shakespeare's famous play, <em>Macbeth</em>, is a story about the Scottish general,  his attempt to become a king and preserve the position. Macbeth is told by the three witches that no man born of woman will be able to harm him, as well as that he is safe until Birnam wood starts moving. Macbeth believes in what they say, ensured that his position as a king could not be compromised. However, towards the end of the play, Malcolm and his army are approaching the castle, camouflaged with the trees from the forest, and Macbeth realizes that he has been misled by the witches' prophecy. This becomes even more clear on the battlefield, when he finds out that Macduff was born by Caesarean section - he was not, in fact, "of woman born."
