Question:

Read this excerpt from the preamble of the declaration of independence:

<em>"prudence, indeed, will dictate that government long established should not be changed for lights and transient causes"</em>

How does the author appeal to ethos here?

   

Answer:

To fully understand the excerpt, one would have to make recourse to the full text to understand it's context.

The Declaration states thereafter

"<em>and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government"</em>

<em />

In other words, though an older government is better, if it abuses the people, and does not pursue equal opportunity but rather practices Despotism, then regardless of how old the government is, it must be done away with.

<em />

Thus, Ethos (which also refers to a set of attitudes and values) is the object of this argument. It can be inferred from the excerpt that the writers value:

  • an older government to a younger inexperienced one
  • a younger inexperienced government to an older but dysfunctional or diseased one
  • a government that gives equal opportunity and rewards people based on merit rather than one that practices despotism.
  • a government that does not abuse its powers

Cheers!

<em />

Romeo and Juliet -
just olya [345]

Answer:

The Nurse is a bawdy, overly talkative,and humorous character in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. She teases Juliet, but is also completely devoted to Juliet. She eventually betrays Juliet's wishes by giving her unkind advice. Even so, the Nurse is completely grief-stricken by Juliet's feigned death.

The Nurse dotes on Juliet

Peace, I have done. God mark thee to his grace! Thou wast the prettiest babe that e'er I nursed: An I might live to see thee married once, I have my wish.

- Act I, Scene 3

Explanation:

The Nurse is a character who helps Juliet and also provides comic relief throughout the first half of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. In the second half of the play, the Nurse is no longer Juliet's ally. All humorous parts of her character seem to be lacking after that point.

In the first two acts, The Nurse is loyal to Juliet, and supportive of her secret romance with Romeo. She helps to arrange the marriage of Romeo and Juliet

Prior to the romance, the Nurse has speeches and scenes that are clearly designed to provoke laughter. In the course of carrying messages and bringing the two young lovers together, the Nurse has many comedic scenes.

In Act three, however, the Nurse changes her opinion and encourages Juliet to betray Romeo and deny their marriage. After that moment, all comic scenes are over, and the Nurse is no longer included in Juliet's clandestine plans.

The Nurse is left to mourn Juliet twice, along with all the other Capulets-- First when Juliet feigns her own death, and later when the two young lovers are discovered in the Capulet tomb.

I tried my level best and c if it is helpful.
