Hello. You did not say what text this question refers to, which makes it impossible for your question to be answered efficiently and specifically. However, to try to help you, I will show you what an argument is and how are the rhetorical appeals that can be used in one. This can guide you in finding the correct answer.
An argument is a position on a theme, where the author demonstrates what he thinks about something or how he understands how such things happen. In addition to presenting a position, the argument presents evidence that provides veracity to the position, showing how it is real and relevant.
To enhance the argument and make it more powerful, rhetorical appeals can be used. These appeals are ethos (which refers to ethics), logos (which refers to logic) and pathos (which refers to emotions and feelings), which are used in sentences to strengthen an important point of the argument and to converge the audience.
Answer:
<em>To Kill A Mockingbird</em> is Harper Lee's coming-of-age novel about a black man being wrongfully accused of a crime, due to the racial inequality present in the fictional town of Maycomb.
The narrator of the novel is Jean Louise “Scout” Finch. Scout narrates the story as an adult, but tells it from her perspective as a child of six to nine years old. She is a perfect narrator for the story, as she now understands the events she experienced as a child, but tells us what they looked like through the eyes of an innocent girl. This is an example of dramatic irony, as we know something that the characters don't. An adult Scout gives us hints about what is going to happen and teaches us certain moral lessons that the main characters (as they are children) fail to understand.
The main event in the story is Tom Robinson's trial. Until her father was chosen to defend Tom, Scout knew nothing about the racial injustice in her society. After Tom has been convicted, Scout witnesses the prejudice and is no more as naive as before. Scout's perspective affects the readers' understanding of the whole story and makes the story's themes more deep. As Scout gradually matures and is able to understand what is happening around her, so does the reader become more aware of the extent of racial inequality. Scout learns certain moral lessons and rules from her father Atticus, but finds out that these rules are not always followed in real life. Unfortunately, an innocent man is convicted of crime, and dies as a result of it. He certainly did not deserve to die, but through Scout's example, we come to understand that life is not always as fair as we want it to be.
The tribe undertakes a manhunt to track down and kill Ralph, and they start a fire to smoke him out of one of his hiding places, creating an island-wide forest fire. A passing ship sees the smoke from the fire, and a British naval officer arrives on the beach just in time to save Ralph from certain death at the hands of the schoolboys turned savages.
The theme of savagery versus civilisation is first introduced to us through the symbol of the conch shell which we associate with Ralph as he is the person who first uses it and becomes the elected leader of the boys. This symbolises authority amongst the boys. At the first assembly Ralph says “I’ll give the conch to the next person to speak…he won’t be interrupted”. This suggests civilisation as Ralph is allowing each boy to have an equal say and opinion. If they have the conch, no matter who they are or what age they are they will be given the chance to speak and will be listened to by the rest of the boys. The boys have created the island to be a democratic place which shows a civilised side to them as they try to mimic the homes they have just left.
One of ways Golding shows conflict between savagery and civilisation is when Jack and some of the other boys are killing the first pig. Jack chants “kill the pig, cut her throat, spill the blood”. This suggests savagery as the boys are being violent and aggressive when killing the pig and they don’t care about it. This is particularly clear through Golding’s word choice. Jack talks about cutting the pig’s throat which makes it sound like a savage action and spilling her blood which reinforces the lack of care and feeling shown towards the pug’s carcass. This shows that the boys are no longer feeling guilty about what they have done thus showing them becoming savages.
