The number devil started doing the problem in his head, but his face turned bright red again and swelled up like a balloon. Was

it because he was angry, Robert wondered, or because the problem was hard?
“Wait a second,” the number devil mumbled. “I can’t seem to come up with anything. You were right. It doesn’t work. How did you know?”

“I didn’t. You don’t think I’m crazy enough to try a problem like that do you? I was just guessing.”

“Guessing? Guessing is not allowed in Mathematics! Mathematics is an exact science!”

“But when you said that numbers don’t stop, that they go on till the cows come home, that was a guess, wasn’t it?”

“How dare you? What are you, anyway? A beginner! A rank amateur! And you want to teach me my trade?”

—The Number Devil,
Hans Magnus Enzenberger

Please please please help
mina [271]

Answer: 1. The plant that Mama keeps near the apartment’s sole window is barely surviving because it lacks adequate nourishment. Sound like anyone else we know? Yet she is completely dedicated to the plant and lovingly tends it every single day in the hopes that it will one day be able to flourish. Gosh. Sound like her behavior towards anyone else? This is by far the play’s most overt symbol; the plant acts as a metaphor for the family.

2. Hansberry writes about sunlight and how the old apartment has so little of it. The first thing Ruth asks about in Act Two, Scene One is whether or not the new house will have a lot of sunlight. Sunlight is a familiar symbol for hope and life, since all human life depends on warmth and energy from the sun.

How does the author use repetition and pathos to make a persuasive argument in her speech
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

Pathos is to persuade by appealing to the audience's emotions. As the speaker, you want the audience to feel the same emotions you feel about something, you want to emotionally connect with them and influence them. If you have low pathos the audience is likely to try to find flaws in your arguments.
