Read the excerpt below from Chris Jacobs' reflective essay called "Everlasting Wannabe." As you read, think about his analogy an

d how it helps get his point across.
Much like the Gobstopper, I resorted to changing my color as time went by. In my red phase, I briefly joined a dodgeball league. When I was orange, I played Dungeons & Dragons and collected Magic: The Gathering. Yellow was all about doing thankless crew work in the school's small theater group, and green played out in endless rewinds of Smashing Pumpkins tapes, including a Nine Inch Nails concert where I got bit in the arm for blocking someone else's view. Blue was spent in horror-movie marathons with two girls who secretly hated each other, and the people that I ran with while purple have sworn me to a secrecy I will never betray.

What point does the analogy of the Gobstoppers help the writer make?

The Gobstoppers show how sweet-natured the writer is.

They indicate that much like Gobstoppers, change can cause you to be unhealthy.

The Gobstoppers show how candy can be used to persuade others to like you.

They indicate that much like his favorite candy, he changed colors very easily.

How does Douglass use the Rhetorical Appeals (Ethos, Pathos, Logos)? Look specifically in chapter 10.
natima [27]

Answer:

Pathos: emotional appeal

Logos: logical appeal

Ethos: Connection between pathos and logos to cause credibility.

Explanation:

In chapter 10 Douglas establishes a connection with the reader through the use of emotions implicit in the pathos appeal proposed by the philosopher Aristotle.

According to this literary style used by the author, it is possible to establish a connection that leads the reader to understand the process of transition between the slave man to the free man, this process takes place during a situation that uses the logos appeal in its logic for its development, and it is this connection that presents credibility between the writer and his audience, that is to say the Ethos.

His main idea was to persuade the audience of the atrocities of slavery and that it should be abolished, so through his language eloquently paints a scenario that connects the emotions of the reader taking it to the persuasion of his main idea.

Why is it more important to pursue what makes you happy and passionate rather than a higher paycheck or better social status?
tatiyna

Answer:

In my experience you have two choices. You can either work during the week doing something you are not passionate about but make more money and do whatever you want on the weekends, or you can work for what you are passionate about 24/7  but make less money.

Personally I will pursue the second option because I feel that life is too short for me to live out my days in a box office.
