Read this excerpt from Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. It took me nine hours to make, and I had thought about giving it to

Sonny, the homeless person who I sometimes see standing outside the Alliance Française, because he puts me in heavy boots, or maybe to Lindy, the neat old woman who volunteers to give tours at the Museum of Natural History, so I could be something special to her, or even just to someone in a wheelchair. But instead I gave it to Mom. She said it was the best gift she’d ever received. Which word from this excerpt most reveals the tone? homeless, because it implies loneliness heavy, because it communicates the narrator’s desperation neat, because it reveals the narrator’s whimsical fancy special, because it implies confidence.

The word from this excerpt that most reveals the tone is: special, because it implies confidence.

In this excerpt from the text, we can detect a special tone. The speaker had made something special which she desired to give to someone who would appreciate it.

She thought of several people to give it to and finally decided on giving it to her mother. Her mother appreciated it.

So, the tone that is felt from this poem can best be described as Special.

How can something like McCarthyism be used as a partisan weapon against another political party? Give an example.
yKpoI14uk [10]

McCarthyism is nothing more than a witch hunt.  A lot of finger pointing and not a lot of proof.  Both parties (Democrat & Republican) in the United States use this in todays world.  Ill give examples of both and follow up with how it can be beneficial to each party.

Democrats:  Accuse other politicians of being "racist" or "bigoted" just from political ideas and from certain members of the base.  While it is not fact or true that Republicans are by policy racist, it is a word that is hated by people and has a negative connotation to it, forcing some to keep distance from said person

Republicans:  Accuse other politicians of being "muslin lovers" or "muslins" themselves.  We saw this for the entire Obama presidency.  Congress and some Republican supporters would use the word "muslin" to describe the president in order to give a negative connotation towards Obama.  This has some strong effectiveness due to the recent events (September 11th, 2001).

Both parties are trying to stick a negative idea/precedent/description about the opposition in order to sway votes.  This tactic is very effective because  not only will you sway votes, theres little repercussion in doing so because the people who disagree with you are not going to be swayed, but that voter in the middle who cares about one issue over the other (in this case racism over fear of muslims or vice versa fear of muslims over racism).  

Either someone is intelligent enough to know the rhetoric between the two parties and votes by policy (unaffected / no positive or negative response), they don't care about either issue (unaffected / no positive or negative response), or someone is strongly in favor of one or the other (strong positive or negative response).

While there are some attempts that have been made and can be made that would be so egregious that most people have a negative response, but that rarely happens and would be deemed political suicide.  

Hope this helps.

Ivanshal [37]
