How would the play The Still Alarm have been different if it was not a parody and the characters reacted normally to the fire in
Naya [18.7K]

Under normal circumstances, in the event of a fire at a hotel, the hotel guests and employees would panic and head to an exit as quickly as possible to save themselves. The characters would not idle away time in needless, calm conversation, but rather they would call the fire department for help immediately. As the characters realized the flames were reaching their floor, they would have become more frantic and concerned about finding an escape route. The firemen would also have been more proactive and would not have brought along a fiddle to play. If the characters reacted more realistically, the play would not have the same humorous effect.

A good paragraph may deal with several topics. True or False?
zloy xaker [14]

TRUE

A good paragraph may rather contain several topics. However, it should be emphasized that the most important in the formulation of a paragraph is that there is cohesion and coherence. This means that periods (sentences) must be well connected and that there is a logical sense.

What does the author’s language reveal about his tone toward the American Electoral college system? What rhetorical strategies d
Bumek [7]

Answer:

The author, Mike Kubic, has a negative tone towards the American Electoral college system in his 2016 article <em>The American Electoral Process.</em>

He is describing how it is unfair, costly, convoluted, not-entirely democratic, and with dubious results.

  • Unfair, because of the fact that some states (primarily, smaller ones) have more representatives per capita than their bigger counterparts.
  • Costly, because the candidates spend millions, if not billions of dollars running their campaigns.
  • Convoluted, because it takes many months, if not years to prepare.
  • Not-entire democratic, because the people don't vote for the president directly, but rather for representatives who will then choose the president.
  • With dubious results, because of the "super delegates" as well as the case of George W. Bush v. AL Gore he mentions in the article.

He uses many rhetorical strategies to support his perspective, primarily ethos: using quotes, numbers, and statistics to depict the unfairness of the system.
