Answer and Explanation:
Henry's speech at the Virginia Convention is titled "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death" where he expresses all the anger he feels towards England's domination of American territory. In this speech, he presents a persuasive tone, where he encourages the listeners to agree with his arguments and also to revolt against the English dominance. To achieve this he uses the rhetorical device called "pathos" which is the device that evokes the sentimentality of people and uses the emotions of the public to persuade them. In Henry's speech, this rhetorical feature can be observed in several sentences, especially in sentences such as:
- " What terms shall we find which have not been already exhausted? Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves. Sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament."
- "Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have?"
- "Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone."
Perhaps D? It could depend on the context of the story though. I hope this helped, good luck! :)
In looking at the story, “Night,” by Elie Wiesel, we see that it is a story about a male Jewish teenager who experiences the Holocaust. During his experiences, we see that his faith is affected in two different ways. Initially, the events he sees strengthens his faith because religion is comforting during his earlier experiences. Later on, his experiences because of all the atrocities he has seen, he begins to lose his faith. When writing an essay on how Eliezer’s experiences have affected his faith, you could talk about, both, how his experiences were positively and negatively affected. This would give you an essay of four paragraphs. Paragraph 1 would be your introduction where you set up your paper and include a thesis statement and mention something similar to “Eliezer was certainly a Jewish man of faith; however, his experiences within the Holocaust caused his faith to be both positively and negatively affected.” What this tells readers is that Paragraph 2 will be about the positive effects on his faith (where you’ll provide examples from the story). Then, Paragraph 3 will be about the negative effects (where you’ll, too, provide examples from the text. Lastly, you’ll provide your conclusion in Paragraph 4 where you’ll provide some final insights and reiterate your thesis statement (restating it but using different words).
