The first conflict is Rainsford arguing with Whitney.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached.
The rhetorical device that is being used is ethos, the rhetorical device used to convince the audience using the emotions to persuade people.
The use of ethos affects the way the text is read and understood in that the author is including words and phrases such as " Denying hateful or historically ‘privileged’ voices a platform is thus necessary to make equality effective so that the marginalized and vulnerable can finally speak up—and be heard.”
These chosen ideas used by the author try to persuade the audience to create a kind of feeling and emotions that makes them react accordingly. That is the purpose of ethos.
Let's remember that the other two approaches are pathos and logos. Pathos uses the reputation of the speaker or author to try to convince the audience, while logos appeals to the reason, the logic, to explain something and convince the audience.
Yogmaya Neupane (Nepali: योगमाया न्यौपाने) (1867–1941) was a religious leader, women's rights activist and poet based in Bhojpur district of Nepal.[1] Yogmaya is considered to be among the pioneer female poets in Nepal with her only published book of poems, the Sarwartha Yogbani [2](In Nepali: सर्वार्थ योगवाणी) considered to be her most notable contribution.
Yogmaya's poems are set around the time when Nepal was ruled by the Rana regime and when India was ruled under the British raj. Her style, characterized by the cultural and political oppression of the time was distinctly original and courageously outspoken. Despite putting a significant focus on the Hindu religious context as a religious leader, her poems and activism themes heavily revolved on female and minority rights in the region, which appealed to a lot of people around the time. In her later years, her activities were heavily monitored by the government and her works were banned by the authorities under the command of the Rana rulers and despite the persecution of her group, she is notable for opting to remain in Nepal and spending her last days around her birthplace in Eastern Nepal. It is also regarded that Yogmaya founded the first organization of Nepali women, the Nari Samiti for women's rights in 1918, which was considered to be the main lobby behind the abolition of the Sati Pratha in Nepal in 1920.[3]
Answers with Explanation:
1. What is at least one character trait of Odysseus and explain how he demonstrates this trait with a textual example.
One character trait of Odysseus is "courage." Even if he was just a mere human, he fought against a giant like "Cyclops Polyphemus." He was brave enough to enter the cave of Cyclops in order to save his men. He wasn't afraid to die, though he described Cyclops as a "horrid creature, not like a human being at all." He even risked his life to get the attention of Cyclops so it could drink the wine, which could make it weak. Then he and his men struck the eyes of the Cyclops and this he stated in his story to the Phaeacians,<em> "So we seized our stake with its fiery tip and bored it, round and round in the giant’s eye till blood came boiling up around..." </em>
2. Compare the epic hero of Odysseus to a hero in your life today. This could be a person you know or someone from a movie or book.
If I were to compare Odysseus to a person in my life, I would say my "father." Just like Odysseus, my father is courageous enough to win in any situation, just so he could send all of us (since were are seven siblings) to school. He never thought of himself and always look forward that his kids will have a better future. Odysseus was, similarly, the same with my father when it comes to taking care of his men and his family. <u>Both of them are courageous enough not to surrender in any situation.</u>
