Answer:
The reason why the Declaration of Independence is so persuasive is that Jefferson uses deductive arguments, which includes examples of Britain's wrong doings, which gives the person reading the document a chance to see exactly why they are breaking from Great Britain.
An example of such a sentence could be: I was BORED during our math class.
A participle is usually used as an adjective within a sentence. Participles are made from verbs - those are those forms used to make tenses such as present perfect, past perfect, etc.
The word which is modified by the participle is the subject of the sentence - the pronoun I.
<span>The political machine in Philadelphia basically used intimidation to control the election process. They also used psychology-- people did not vote because they felt helpless, and they felt the machine would control the process anyways, so people simply did not fight back.</span>
Well I haven't read either of those but I have written critical response essays before. My advice would be: before you start writing, even if you have already read the essay/poems/whatever they are, read over them again to have them both fresh on your mind. While you are reading, think about your opinion on both of them. You can make an outline on a piece of paper/your computer of things you agree with and disagree with in each of them. Also, start making a summary of how they're alike and different. You need to have an introduction, that includes a thesis, and at least three body paragraphs unless your teacher told you differently. Then you need a concluding paragraph. The most important thing to remember is that you should argue your case for or against the selections you read and your opinions on them.
(Also, if you're good at math and probability, would you mind checking out my question? :) )
I can help :), but i need a little more info. Do you have the text?
