Answer:

<em>The Inferno </em>by Dante Alighieri is the first book in the extravagant trilogy of <em>The Divine Comedy. </em>This renowned and thrilling series shares Dante's extraordinary and creative imaginations through a poetic perspective. <em>The Inferno</em> begins Dante's death-defying journey as he strolls through the woods, overwhelmed with darkness when he finds a mountain that he could climb, in order to escape the clutches of this unceasing darkness. Discovering that his path is blocked by a she-wolf, a lion, and a leopard, he is forced to retreat back to the woods and meets the spirit of Virgil, a poet that was sent by Dante's deceased lover, Beatrice, to escort Dante to the peak of the mountain. Yet, Virgil explains that the only way to reach their destination, is to enter and endure the fiery pits of Hell and reach the gates of Heaven, where Beatrice awaits. This novel is exquisitely and artistically written, touching upon a plethora of subjects including judgement, remission, Greek mythology, and accompanied with spine-chilling moments that may leave you at the edge of your seat. It will definitely change the way you perceive life and guide you to realize that your harmful intentions can cause consequences.

each claim, and assert a warrant that explains how the example illustrates the claim.

CHAPTER 8

Persuasive Writing Prewriting

1 Purpose, Subject, and Audience

In a persuasive essay, your purpose is to win your readers over to your point of

view—and sometimes to convince them to take an action that you recommend.

To achieve this purpose, you need to build a convincing, logical argument and

present it in a convincing and powerful way. The strategies that follow will help you

accomplish your purpose effectively.

Thinking your subject through carefully and marshaling the best possible evidence are

the surest ways to develop a good argument. If you take your time during prewriting,

you will be able to anticipate your opponents’ reactions and be ready for them.

chOOsIng a subject

The two most important aspects of a good argumentative subject are (1) that the subject

is genuinely controversial and (2) that you feel strongly about it. Brainstorm a list of

possible subjects about which you can say, “I believe,” while some other people would say,

“I don’t believe.” Use brainstorming, freewriting, clustering, or other strategies to narrow

your list of possible subjects. Then use the following guidelines to choose one.

The seventh man summary
Hunter-Best [27]

The story "The Seventh Man" from Haruki Murakami begins with a meeting where there are seven people, and each of them is to speek. The main character of the story is the last person to talk: the Seventh Man.

The man tells how, when he was ten years old, a typhoon and a tsunami struck his hometown. After the typhoon ended, he and his best friend, who he simply calls "K", went out to assess the damages it caused. However, when they were outside, a gigantic tsunami started to form. The man realized this, and wanted to warn K, but instinctively ran away in fear. The tsunami caught both of the boys, but only the narrator survived.

The man carried the guilt of having abandoned his friend with him throughout all his life. He developed a terrible fear of water and for the next forty years he had no happiness.

After the man's parents died, he came back to his hometown where, after finding some old drawing K had done, he went to the shore and understood that he had been foolish to not face his fears.

At the end of the story, the setting returned to the meeting where the Seventh Man was proclaiming that the worst thing a man can do is live in fear and let that steal something precious away for him.
