3. Read the following excerpt from a persuasive text. Then, evaluate the way the author builds their argument. Look for logical fallacies, discuss the author’s credibility, examine the eidence they use, and reach a conclusion about the overall effectiveness of this piece.

I think chemicals are deadly. Chemicals shouldn’t be used in the food we eat. Chemicals are dangerous for plants and animals, too. If we keep using too many chemicals, they will pollute the earth and make everyone sick. A study said that chemicals are even causing honeybees to die! Whenever my little brother eats processed food with too many chemicals, like cereal, candy, or chips, he gets hyperactive for hours. Do yourself and the environment a favor and kick chemicals to the curb!

Answer:  The author makes a strong opening statement, but should avoid "I think.. ."   Let the statement stand on its own merits. "Chemicals are deadly."  It is then evident that this is an over-generalization.

Not all chemicals are deadly. Many are beneficial. It may be true that her brother is affected by some of the chemicals in the food he eats, and it would be better for him to eat more natural foods with fewer chemical additives.

The reference to "a study said. . ." would be much more credible if the author had named the source of the study, or the credentials of the researcher who did the study. It would be good to specify "insecticides" or "pesticides" responsible for killing bees.

The conclusion is a good call to action, but again, too general. I like the alliteration of "kick the chemicals to the curb" but there might be a way to say "Be thougthtful about the chemicals you use, and the additives you consume; when possible, do yourself and the environment a favor and kick chemicals to the curb!"

Answer:

chemicals are deadly- the author had stated his/her opinion strongly, they cause the reader to be scared of chemicals by using a very effective word "deadly"

Chemicals are dangerous for plants and animals, too- the author states a fact showing that it is dangerous for things that we eat. This builds up their argument because it is showing that we are in danger because of it

will pollute the earth and make everyone sick.- this is warning people on what can happen using the words pollute and sick is very effective because pollute means to much of it and it is just their and will continue to build up and make people sick

Do yourself and the environment a favor and kick chemicals to the curb- this phrase shows people that getting rid of chemicals is helping us and our environment so there shouldn't be a reason to fear getting rid of chemicals and that it isn't a necessity.

How could you decipher a passage written in another language
mr_godi [17]
You have two options depending on context:

1) If it's a quick exchange and can be figured out in context, put the foreign language in italics.

"As-tu le livre?"

"Yes, I have the book here."

or inline:

"You filthy p'taQ!" B'Elanna snarled.

2) If it's a quick exchange without context, put the translation afterwards and italicize that.

"Pour ma peine, ma punition, je tourne en rond," he sighed. For my pain, for my punishment, I pace in circles. Now Picard understood.

inline:

"Qa'pla!" Successs! the Klingon shouted.

In any case, I would not have more than one or two exchanges in a foreign language. Either use a tag like "she said in French" so the reader realizes the characters aren't speaking English, or note in narration "they discussed the matter in French for some time, but as Malcolm didn't speak the language, he had to wait for a translation."

Read the following excerpt from Walden by Henry Thoreau and write a paraphrase of his claim.
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Some things only need one thing to live, food. While others like us humans need more than one thing to live. We can not fully live in the prospect of freedom until we have gained all of the necessaries of life.
