When Saint Augustine writes in Confessions: “The evil in me was foul, but I loved it” (p. 47), and also “I loved evil even thoug

h it served no purpose” (p. 51), what does he mean by this contradictory admission? How does he come to understand his own "greedy love of doing wrong"?

Answer:

Explanation:

He knows that evil in him is wrong. He also knows that it is quite likely natural.  Use sex as an example. There are 613 laws in the Old Testament. I don't know how many deal with sex, but I would guess quite a few.

Augustine would know them all. Many are based on natural urges. He thinks his visions are foul, but that does not stop him from thinking about them. And if we take him at his word, he loved them.

The serving no purpose (continuing on with the example above), serves no purpose, because, though it is in his mind, he will likely not bring it into physical fulfillment.

Without reading more on these passages, this is about all I can offer you.

An introductory paragraph must and must not contain these things:

Must-
1. Hook/Grabber - Interesting fact, rhetorical question (not recommended), statistic, or just anything (in this case) relating to what your essay is going to talk about that may make the reader more interested. I suggest that you try and make this a little more interesting, such as something relating to Elie and the holocaust to keep the reader interested.
2. Overview of Support - Write what you will further explain in the next paragraphs so that the reader actually knows what they're getting into. It is vital for any article or essay because it helped ease into the writing without any confusion. You should also include shortened reasoning of why your statement is correct/to justify your claim.

Must Not-
1. Very long, dragged out sentences - This will obviously bore the reader. Long and dragged out/descriptive intros will make the reader disinterested and possibly just outright explain what the entire essay is about, which is also a bad sign because it could be considered repetition (which, yes, consistency is key, but seeing the same thing over and over constantly may annoy the reader). You also want to avoid doing this because it takes up more time than it needs to -- remember this is just an introduction!
2. Anything off-topic or unrelated to what your essay/article is about - This means not talking about yourself (especially if it is an informative essay) or talking about your family and the  Holocaust (as an example, but not accurate), (etc.) when that is not the main focus of the essay.

This is about all I can think of for now, if you have any further questions, please PM me. Hope I helped and good luck!

The excerpt from Magician's Apprentice that has a sequence text structure is taking the first sheet of paper and roll it into a simple tube about the width of a paper towel roll.

<h3>What is a sequence structure?</h3>

A sequence structure is made up of one or more sub diagrams (or frames) that run in order.

Data dependency influences the execution order of nodes within each frames of a sequence structure, as it does throughout the block diagram.

Thus, the correct option is D, make a simple tube out of the first sheet of paper, roughly the width of a paper towel roll.
