List two ways the Declaration of Independence was an effective argumentative writing piece.

English
1 answer:
sineoko [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The reason why the Declaration of Independence is so persuasive is that Jefferson uses deductive arguments, which includes examples of Britain’s wrong doings, which gives the person reading the document a chance to see exactly why they are breaking from Great Britain.  One of the strongest deductive arguments in the declaration is, “That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among men”.  This means that any legitimate government is created to protect peoples’ rights such as, “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness”.  Throughout the declaration Jefferson shows how Great Britain is not protecting their rights, but interfering with them.  For example, he states how the king keeps sending over soldiers and expects the people to house and feed them.  How would you feel if the government just placed a stranger in your home and told you he could eat your hard-earned food?  These soldiers were also allowed to disobey the laws in the colonies and not be punished for them.  This is not what you call protecting peoples’ rights; it is more like invading them.  Another very strong deductive argument in this document is, “deriving their just power from the consent of the governed”.  This means any power or authority that a government has is given to them by the consent of the people, but this right like many others was abused too.  For instants, Jefferson wrote that they have “Petitioned for redress” repeatedly, meaning they sent many petitions to the king about many unfair problems in the colonies, wanting to come to some type of agreement.  Nevertheless, the king does not answer them but continues to hurt them.  This shows that the king did not care about the peoples’ consent; therefore, he is not implicating a just government and they have the right to break free from Great Britain.

Which sentence best uses sensory language to describe the setting?
Cerrena [4.2K]

B. I gazed at the bright blue sky and the trees filled with lush green foliage.

Sensory details are descriptions that apply to the five sense (sight, sound, touch, taste, smell). In Option B, the sense that is appealed to is the sense of sight. The sky is described as a bright blue and the trees are described as being lush, full of thick leaves. These details help to put a picture in the reader's mind. The other options sometimes give detailed information but they are about the characters inner thoughts. These are not sensory details.

Descrin<br><br> Explain how the fire at the end of the novel is heavily ironic
yanalaym [24]

Answer: It is ironic that the same fire that is a threat to Ralph's life actually prevents him from dying.

Explanation:

In <em>Lord of the Files</em> (1954), William Golding tells a story about the British boys who find themselves on a desert island.

At the end of the novel, it is Ralph's intention to create a signal fire so that the rescuers notice them. However, the fire that Jack sets rages and spreads through the forest. Jack's plan is to kill Ralph with the smoke from the fire. Instead of a sign used to attract attention, the fire thus becomes a danger to Ralph's life. The fire ultimately saves the boys, but the irony is that the fire that Jack set to kill Ralph actually saved him from dying, as they got rescued.
