Read the passage. Then answer the question. " Give Me Liberty, or Give Me Death! By Patrick Henry. What argument and claims does
irinina [24]

Henry argues that all colonists must act against the British Empire and attack it to ensure America's freedom and prosperity.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Henry's speech was made to persuade the colonists to fight the British Empire.
  • He claims that the British Empire has acted with violence and tyranny, harming and oppressing the settlers.
  • To support these claims, Henry uses concrete and well-established evidence that reinforces his argument and makes the speech efficient.
  • Henry does not use false statements, but is based on facts that can be confirmed by everyone.

Henry's speech can be an example of speech that can truly persuade without using fallacies or misleading sentences.

What is true of homer's greece?
expeople1 [14]

Homer is best known as the author of the Iliad and the Odyssey. He was believed by the ancient Greeks to have been the first and greatest of the epic poets. Author of the first known literature of Europe, he is central to the Western canon.

When he lived, as well as whether he lived at all, is unknown. Herodotus estimates that Homer lived no more than 400 years before his own time, which would place him at around 850 BCE or later. Pseudo-Herodotus estimates that he was born 622 years before Xerxes I placed a pontoon bridge over the Hellespont in 480 BCE, which would place him at 1102 BCE, 168 years after the fall of Troy in 1270 BCE. These two end points are 252 years apart, representative of the differences in dates given by the other sources.


Hope this helped! :)
