As a professional critic of life and letters, my principal business in the world is that of manufacturing platitudes for tomorro

w, which is to say, ideas so novel that they will be instantly rejected as insane and outrageous by all right thinking men, and so apposite and sound that they will eventually conquer that instinctive opposition, and force themselves into the traditional wisdom of the race. I hope I need not confess that a large part of my stock in trade consists of platitudes rescued from the cobwebbed shelves of yesterday, with new labels stuck rakishly upon them. This borrowing and refurbishing of shop-worn goods, as a matter of fact, is the invariable habit of traders in ideas, at all times and everywhere. It is not, however, that all the conceivable human notions have been thought out; it is simply, to be quite honest, that the sort of men who volunteer to think out new ones seldom, if ever, have wind enough for a full day's work. The most they can ever accomplish in the way of genuine originality is an occasional brilliant spurt, and half a dozen such spurts, particularly if they come close together and show a certain co-ordination, are enough to make a practitioner celebrated, and even immortal. Nature, indeed, conspires against all such genuine originality, and I have no doubt that God is against it on His heavenly throne, as His vicars and partisans unquestionably are on this earth.

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question.

Read the excerpt from The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba.

One Saturday, Gilbert met me in the library and we flipped through books we thought might be fun. I couldn't study all the time. One book that caught my attention was the Malawi Junior Integrated Science book, used by Form Four students. Hmm, I thought, and flipped it open. There were lots of pictures and diagrams, which I found easy to understand. I saw pictures of cancer and scabies and children stricken with kwashiorkor, like so many who'd wandered the country. One picture had a man in a shiny silver suit walking on the moon.

What is the primary idea that the details in the excerpt tell a reader about Kamkwamba?

Answer:

He is intelligent despite his lack of education.

Explanation:

William Kamkwamba was a young boy from Malawi, a country where a great hunger and drought prevailed. As a young uneducated boy he had a dream to bring water and electricity to his poor town but he was greatly mocked by people around him.

The primary idea from the excerpt tells the reader about William high level of intelligence due to his ability to understand the pictures and diagrams in the science textbook despite the fact that he is not properly educated.

What does the ethos mean?
disa [49]

Answer:

Ethos is a persuasion method that is used to establish a person's credibility in a topic to convince a person or many people to join their side by using their character/credibility.

Explanation:

Ethos is one of the three persuasion methods originated from Greek that means 'character'. Ethos is when a person establishes their credibility in an argument which is then used to persuade the audience through the persons 'character.' One example of this in modern day advertisement is using a celebrity to promote a product. If it's a celebrity people will find them more credible, then the audience will become more willing to buy the product.

They're two other persuasion methods used often in modern day advertisement that are called: pathos, and logos. Which means emotion and logic, pathos convincing someone buy using their emotions. A good example of pathos are animal rescue commercials. Logos is using facts/logic to persuade the audience. A good example of logos is a medical commercial that shows data or results of their product working.

Hope this helps.
