Answer:

Thematic statement: Participating in sports is a great benefit for the body, but this practice should not interfere with other important elements such as education and physical capacity.

Rhetorical strategy with logos: If being an athlete impairs academic performance, or if the practice of exercise is causing some harm to the body, the sport is not beneficial but harmful.

Explanation:

In "The Proper Place for Sports," Roosevelt argues about his son's desire to join the school's football team. In the letter Roosevelt is concerned that the boy's physical condition is sufficient for the sport he wants to practice. However, Roosevelt agrees to let him take the test if the coach says he is not in danger of health. Roosevelt also says that playing sports is very important, but this should not be done to the detriment of the academic performance of the boy, who must maintain good grades and be concerned with studies.

Accordingly, we can say that Roosevelt is in accordance with the thematic statement and rhetorical strategy shown above. He agrees that if sport is damaging the body and academic performance, sport is not being beneficial and, therefore, losing its main function.

What is relevant about the fact that the sign "quavers under a film" of water at the beginning of the story?
Archy [21]

Answer:

Bradbury´s opening uses the literary device of personification by granting a human trait (the capacity to tremble because of weakness) to a non-living thing (the sign on the wall). This sentence also works as a foreshadowing element, as it sets the mood for something going wrong.

Explanation:

Furthermore, it relates to a later metaphor about time being "a film run backward." In the end, the protagonist finds himself trembling because of his weakness, his incapacity to go through the film of time without causing trouble.
