6 0

In the first stanza the speaker stands before an old Grecian urn and speaks to it. He is concerned with the picture frozen in time. It is the "still unravishe'd bride of quietness" the "foster child of silence and slow time". He also describes the urn as a historian that can tell a story. He wants to know about the pictures on the side of the urn and ask what legend it can tell and from where they come. He saw a picture of a group of men chasing a group of women and wonders what a mad pursuit? What struggle to run away?

Write a logical analysis of Benjamin Banneker’s letter to Thomas Jefferson

Vesna [10]

The above question wants to assess your ability to read, interpret and write. For that reason, it's not right for me to write down the logical analysis you need, but I'll show you how to write one.

First, you need to know that the letter Benjamin Banneker wrote to Thomas Jefferson was intended to convince him to fight for abolitionism.

That's because Benjamin Banneker had joined a group of men who were in favor of ending slavery, but he knew politically relevant men needed to join that group and support abolitionism and so he wrote the letter to Jefferson.

In this case, the entire letter shows that objective, presenting Jefferson the reasons that make abolitionism a good policy for America and the reasons that make slavery bad.

Based on this, to write your logic analysis you should:

Read the entire text and reread if necessary.
Start your analysis by showing what the letter is and what its main purpose is.
Show how the author develops this goal.
Show how the sentences the author uses to defend his position on the subject of the letter.
Assess whether the type of language the author presented is appropriate.
Show how the author presents slavery and ways to combat it.
Show your opinion of the letter and the way its author approaches the subject presented.
