First, you need to know how to identify verbs, nouns, and adjectives.
Verbs are action words. If someone is doing something, whatever they're doing is an action. Most verbs end in "ed" or "ing."
Nouns are people, places, things, or ideas, and can be singular or plural.
Adjectives describe things, like the <em>purple</em> dinosaur, the <em>lively</em> children, or the <em>French </em>woman (purple, lively, and French are adjectives, because they describe the dinosaur, children, and woman, respectively). If you're unsure as to whether it's an adjective or not, ask yourself if it gives you more details. For example, if a sentence says "three people," then "three" is the adjective, because it gives you more details than just saying "people."
Verbs:
1. estimate
2. lived
3. encountered
4. captured
5. are
6. kill
7. believe
8. shared
9. thought
10. is

2. most endangered
3. southern
4. female
5. smallest
6. serious
7. mistakenly
8. three
9. hidden

There are three types of appeals or ways of persuasion: ethos, which persuades appealing to ethics; pathos, which appeals to emotion; and logos, which appeals to logic.
The sentence "I think that ’twixt the negroes of the South and the women at the North, all talking about rights, the white men will be in a fix pretty soon.", uses facts to persuade. The civil rights movement is something that actually happened, and I gather from the sentence that this was said during that time. Both african americans and women were tired of the unjust treatment they receive(d) and began to protest. Since the sentence uses facts to persuade, the appeal used is <u>logos.</u>
Tone is 'the attitude that is conveyed by the narrator of a story'. A reader can be persuaded by a writer's use of tone particularly if it matches the readers own 'feelings' on the subject.
For example in Mein Kampf Hitler used a very superior tone - which matched the sentiments of the general population of Germany at the time.
