2. Recently, talks have been conducted by the administration to determine the amount of aid to send to foreign countries. Previously, the countries were sent nearly $1 million in aid each year, but it was decided by the administration that countries would receive at least half that amount this year.

How does douglass's extrinsic ethos or reputations influence he mannerin which he addresses his audience?
kirill [66]
<span>The oratory of African Americans has been judged by a primarily epideictic, aesthetic character since the "principal motif of African American discourse has necessarily been the subject of appearance sheer physical appearance and its fateful effects on public life". Douglass' characterization as an epideictic orator may also be in part due to his fiery style and his tendency to appropriate epideictic occasions for his oratory. This reduction of Douglass' rhetoric to an epideictic or ceremonial function is limiting and no doubt has contributed to the lack of scholarship and critical inquiry surrounding his oratory.</span>

3. In paragraph 18, why does the author follow the line,
V125BC [204]

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

'A Good Man Is Hard To Find' is a short story written by Flannery O’Connor. The story centers on the themes of  grace, Christian beliefs, moral conduct, etc. These themes are represented in the story with the tone of humor and irony, by the author.

In the story, in paragraph 18, the author followed the line <em>'People did right then' </em>with <em>' "Oh look at the cute little pickaninny!" </em>was to reveal the grandmother's hypocrisy. Using the derogatory term <em>'pickaninny' </em>grandmother tried to portray the young black child to nothing. These lines also suggests how she glorified the past of South when blacks were treated like nothing and confer it as a <em>'right thing that people did back then.'</em>

Thus, these lines are used by author to portray hypocrisy of the grandmother. Therefore, option B is correct.
