Help me! Persuasion appeals to: emotions and ethics logic and reason interests and opinions facts and evidence
Gnoma [55]
Depend on who you're trying to persuade. Depending on the subject, the audience may be different, so the need for persuasion may have a different appeal. If it's a tragic novel, it may call for emotional and ethical persuasion. In a murder mystery, for example, it may call for logical and rational persuasion. In a fiction novel, it may call for facts and evidence, especially if evidence is needed to be cited. And most often times, persuasion includes interests and opinions, so don't worry about that one.

How do you find the tone and mood
ch4aika [34]

The mood is the atmosphere of the story, and the tone is the author's attitude towards the topic. We can identify both by looking at the setting, characters, details, and word choices.

hope this helps :)

Which sentence from Fever 1793 reveals a first-person point of view?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

"The man ignored us and pressed on steadily."

Explanation:

By narrating from a first person point of view, the reader can experience the story as if he was in the narrator's shoes. In this type of point of view, the narrator refers to him or herself, therefore "I", "me", "my", "mine", "we", or "us", is used. This is characteristic of autobiographies for example, where we know the narrator's feeelings and thoughts from first hand. The other characters' feelings or thoughts can only be interpreted by the narrator but not known completely.

In this case the narrator uses us, which means he is the one telling the story from his/her perspective.
