They were not railway children to begin with. I don't suppose they had ever thought about railways except as a means of getting

to Maskelyne and Cook's, the Pantomime, Zoological Gardens, and Madame Tussaud's. They were just ordinary suburban children, and they lived with their Father and Mother in an ordinary red-brick-fronted villa, with coloured glass in the front door, a tiled passage that was called a hall, a bath-room with hot and cold water, electric bells, French windows, and a good deal of white paint, and 'every modern convenience', as the house-agents say.
There were three of them. Roberta was the eldest. Of course, Mothers never have favourites, but if their Mother HAD had a favourite, it might have been Roberta. Next came Peter, who wished to be an Engineer when he grew up; and the youngest was Phyllis, who meant extremely well.

Mother did not spend all her time in paying dull calls to dull ladies, and sitting dully at home waiting for dull ladies to pay calls to her. She was almost always there, ready to play with the children, and read to them, and help them to do their home-lessons. Besides this she used to write stories for them while they were at school, and read them aloud after tea, and she always made up funny pieces of poetry for their birthdays and for other great occasions, such as the christening of the new kittens, or the refurnishing of the doll's house, or the time when they were getting over the mumps.

These three lucky children always had everything they needed: pretty clothes, good fires, a lovely nursery with heaps of toys, and a Mother Goose wall-paper. They had a kind and merry nursemaid, and a dog who was called James, and who was their very own. They also had a Father who was just perfect—never cross, never unjust, and always ready for a game—at least, if at any time he was NOT ready, he always had an excellent reason for it, and explained the reason to the children so interestingly and funnily that they felt sure he couldn't help himself.

You will think that they ought to have been very happy. And so they were, but they did not know HOW happy till the pretty life in the Red Villa was over and done with, and they had to live a very different life indeed.

The dreadful change came quite suddenly.

2. What is the author's viewpoint in "Sidestepping Student Debt"? How does the author use rhetoric to
Komok [63]

Answer:

The author's viewpoint on "side-stepping student debts is that he thinks its a good idea, and can save you from debt and help you save money. The writer uses rhetoric advance his viewpoint, and make it sound more interesting. He does this by informing and persuading the audiences in a specific situation. The author uses this in his writing, to exaggerate his point.

The author uses rhetoric in his writing. An example of this is when he states "Instead, these smart students sidestep serious college debt before college even begins. " The author uses this to persuade the reader that sidestepping is something smart people do, and can keep you out of debt. This creates an emotional response.

3) Writers use a number of literary devices to persuade a reader to think or follow the authors opinion. They also use it to add strength to an argument. The author uses false statements when he says "Finding entry-level corporate jobs is difficult for young graduates without career experience." This is a false statement because finding a job as a young graduate isn't hard. In fact, lots of places would higher someone who graduated from college. This is because you've graduated from college and are ready to apply what youve learned in school to real life.

Writers use fallacious sometimes in their writing. Fallacious is based on a mistaken belief. Other words invalid and faulty reasoning. As the writer writes about sidestepping, he uses a lot of it to make his opinion sound more persuading. In writing fallacious can make you sound persuading or smart, but isn't helpful because it's not true.
