Answer:

"What we attain too cheap we esteem too lightly."

Explanation:

"The Crisis" by Thomas Paine is an extremely persuasive document. Part of this success is the fact that it contains many excellent exercises on rhetoric. One of the literary devices that is present in this text is antithesis. Antithesis is a rhetorical device in which two ideas which are usually opposed are placed together in a sentence in order to achieve a contrasting effect. In this text, an example of antithesis would be:

<em>"What we attain too cheap we esteem too lightly."</em>

The radio broadcast features interviews with hurricanes victims. Why do you think Cheryl Corley includes these interviews instea
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

She brought the hurricane victims so the listeners would hear their stories from their perspective.

Explanation:

Cheryl Corley was aware that describing the experiences the victims of the hurricane had from a third person perspective would not accurately convey the horrors the victims experienced so she had to include the interviews of the victims themselves so listeners would better the experience from the first person perspective.

When a story is being narrated in the third person narrative, that is another person describing events from a detached view the emotions are not properly captured and the 0erson simply describes it the way he sees it or thinks it happened. It is not an accurate way of describing events.

When narrating an experience in the first person, the person describes it exactly how it happened to them and how they felt when it was happening and how they felt after the event. It is a description based on the descriptor's experience.

Answer:

Albert Chinualumogu Achebe was born on November 16, 1930, in Ogidi, a large village in Nigeria. Although he was the child of a Protestant missionary and received his early education in English, his upbringing was multicultural, as the inhabitants of Ogidi still lived according to many aspects of traditional Igbo (formerly written as Ibo) culture. Achebe attended the Government College in Umuahia from 1944 to 1947. He graduated from University College, Ibadan, in 1953. While he was in college, Achebe studied history and theology. He also developed his interest in indigenous Nigerian cultures, and he rejected his Christian name, Albert, for his indigenous one, Chinua.

In the 1950s, Achebe was one of the founders of a Nigerian literary movement that drew upon the traditional oral culture of its indigenous peoples. In 1959, he published Things Fall Apart as a response to novels, such as Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, that treat Africa as a primordial and cultureless foil for Europe. Tired of reading white men’s accounts of how primitive, socially backward, and, most important, language-less native Africans were, Achebe sought to convey a fuller understanding of one African culture and, in so doing, give voice to an underrepresented and exploited colonial subject.
