How does Thoreau’s use of rhetorical questions contribute to the persuasiveness and message in “Excerpt from ‘Civil Disobedience

?’”
English
1 answer:
ella [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Thoreau's usage of several rhetorical questions upon one another helps eloquently establish a rhythm to present similar, but different argumentative key points. Moreover, it gives a rhythm to the text right off the start. Ultimately, it enables him to set up his argument against morals and values that he claims are being controlled by the government, and as well setting an argument for individualism.

Explanation:

The author does not make many direct statements; however, he does use the device of rhetorical questions that are meant to not be answered by neither the reader nor the text.

Answer:

I see the sunlight dappled on the hill,

A balmy afternoon in the late Spring,

I hear the sweet beautiful birdsong still;

It's a time when all the birds sweetly sing!

And the meadows of flowers sweetly blow,

They perfume the air with fragrance so sweet,

Sometimes at evening when I walk slow;

I stop to see those flowers at my feet.

I stop and stoop to smell their dear sweetness,

For they are filled with everlasting grace,

For sometimes they will my fair cheeks caress;

And brush their petals up against my face.

I admire they're so very sweet beauty,

They are a very fond treasure to see!

Explanation:

hope this works :).

The tense is all mixed up, but it looks like present is used most often, so "emitted" should be changed to "emits" and "pulled" should be changed to "pulls." I can't see the entire paragraph so just make sure that's consistent.

You don't need a comma in "running towards us with the fire extinguisher."

"Your mother and me" should be "Your mother and I." For reference try taking our "your mother" - it sounds pretty silly to say "me thinks" unless you're in the 1600s, right? And it should be "think" instead of "thinks."
