From the excerpt you posted it looks like the writer's primary purpose is to persuade the audience to share his point of view.
This can be seen in phrases like "it seems to me that the decision is easy", where he implies that he has enough knowledge to see something that the Township officials are not seeing.
Answer:
Deceptive
Explanation:
Since the word hypocritical means acting one way when you mean another, deceptive works in this sentence, since deceptive means something looks one way when it is actually not that way.
An example of hypocrisy is saying bullying is bad and then bullying someone yourself. That's acting one way when you mean another, going back on your word and being deceptive, because everyone thinks you're nice but in fact you are not.
Hopefully that helps :)
Answer:
The children's favorite landscape depicts a blazing African savannah with deadly animals.
Explanation:
I think Bradbury chose this landscape as a reflection of the children's violent minds. It shows what is really going on behind their innocent exterior and helps the reader understand a little what the children are thinking of without being overly obvious about it. It affects the reader because it sets an ominous mood that foreshadows a violent ending. With a happier setting, the mood would not imply impending doom and the outcome of the text would seem extremely abrupt.
*Hey! I hope this helps! If you need evidence you can put it when you explain what their favorite landscape is : )*
