Answer and Explanation:

How do you feel about that statistic?

That statistic makes me feel deceived, misled. Such a high number means half of the information conveyed to us is not completely trustworthy. It is what PR companies want us to think, not real information which we can use to think for ourselves. It is quite a sad reality, and it shows we still have a long way to go before we can think of ourselves as truly free. Knowledge is the rock upon which we can build our freedom. Without it, we are easily controlled and kept chained by those in power.

Do you think most people realize this?

I do not think people realize this. If more people knew about this, there would likely be a public outcry for change and better ways to filter what truly is news and what is not. That is obviously a difficult endeavor. But, just as so many others throughout history, it is worth fighting for.

Eduardwww [97]

She should persuade her audience by including benefits of the trip to Washington D.C, historical facts, and locations. Also, New York can be used to compare to Washington D.C, so there is more opportunity to persuade the audience in going to D.C.

Short answer:

  • It hurts Waverly when her mother tries to make it look better, so she does not like it.
  • The best torture is not about physical pain; it is about mental torture.

Explain and support your ideas/claims with text evidence.

Her mother does her hair. It can be seen in the discussion. Her mother "twisted and yanked on my thick black hair until she formed two tightly wound pigtails" in the morning. Waverly hated it when her mother did her hair. This text shows Her mother twists and yanks her hair into tight pigtails, indicating she was upset with her hairstyle. She disliked her mother's hairstyle.

"We do torture. best torture. "

Understanding the meaning of a lesson is less important to me than learning it. Throughout the story, Waverly uses a number of methods. It was not the "best torture." Torture does not have to be painful to be effective. Tormenting someone's mind requires great pain. Because he is mentally tortured, Waverly is good at chess. So, her mother was correct when she said that "We torture people all the time." It is the best thing that could happen. " "We do torture." "The best torture," she says, without referring to physical pain. For her, the best way to torture someone is to make them feel bad about themselves. The best torture.
