Answer:

In Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift, Gulliver's adventures and experiences ... Pride and arrogance are reoccurring themes that make up the most of Swift's satire.

Swift has now concluded his illustration on humans' basic nature. Gulliver could not make himself a horse. He is not innocent or rational. He is, by nature, a Yahoo. But, as a European Yahoo, Gulliver should use his driblet of reason to improve himself; instead, he uses his reason to magnify his worst vice: his pride. Gulliver's pride has swelled out of all proportion; he has "reasoned" himself into rejecting his species and his nature: Gulliver is virtually a madman. His attitudes when he arrives in London make him a source of derision, for Gulliver seeks to change his basic nature by thinking; reason becomes the sole guide of his life.

Abby is giving a speech to persuade her audience that animal testing is wrong. She tells a story about the pain and torment that
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

She is using pathos.

Explanation:

According to Aristotle's classical model of persuasion, there are three appeals that can be used to persuade an audience: logos, ethos, and pathos.

Logos is appeal to logic, ethos to ethics, pathos to emotions. Pathos usually focuses on sad emotions, or emotions related to pity, in order to persuade. That is precisely what Abby is doing when she tells the story of the pain and torment an animal went through. She is appealing to the audience's capacity for empathy, for feeling the animal's pain, for feeling sorry for the animal. She expects their emotions will persuade them to stop animal testing.

Answer:

emotion or atmosphere created by the author.

Explanation:

In English literature, a tone can be defined as the attitude of an author or writer towards a subject.

This ultimately implies that, the point of view or perspective of an author toward a subject in a literary work is his or her tone.

Also, you should note that a "tone" is a literary device in literature and as  doesn't mean the way people speak or the pitch used by a speaker in contemporary english language.

Basically, the tone of a text expresses or reflects the mood of an author of a literary work and as such goes a long way to affect the countenance of the reader. Therefore, the tone being used by an author in a literary work such as articles, novels, stories etc., has the potential of evoking various emotions and shaping the perspective of a reader of the piece of writing.

In this context, the mood of a story simply means the emotion or atmosphere created by the author through the use of setting, imagery, descriptions and attitude. Thus, the emotions elicited may include feelings of anger, fear, calm, joy, happiness, sadness, compassion, etc.

Why is shakespeare still so widely read after hundreds of years
qaws [65]
~ Shakespeare is timeless for one reason only: No matter what generation reads his plays and poems, he is always challenging. Challenging the reader is the essence of literature and challenging the audience is the essence of drama. Shakespeare accomplishes both.

If you are like me, you may sometimes read Shakespeare and be annoyed that he is difficult to read. But that is what makes him great. When you understand the beauty of his craft, you are truly being challenged as a reader and becoming a better reader. Too many of today's popular authors are not challenging: They are fun and exciting, but ask yourself, When was the last time you read a popular novel that was fun but also challenging?
