The answer is C due to the definition of personification. The author is giving the wind a human action “howling”. A and D are essentially saying the same thing. The night is being compared to an ANIMAL (cat), so it can’t be PERSONification. B) pairing the night and stars also doesn’t make sense as personification

Answer:

Well the definition of personification is

the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something nonhuman, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form.

I think the answer is D.

because the night is being given human qualities making it seem like a character by saying it's like a cat, I can see that the wind is being portrayed as the breath and the stars are being portrayed as the "ravenous eyes"

Write me a paper on argument that tend to appeal to emotion
NARA [144]
Appeal to emotion or argumentum ad passiones or appeal to feels is a logical fallacy characterized by the manipulation of the recipient's emotions in order to win an argument, especially in the absence of factual evidence.[1] This kind of appeal to emotion is a type of red herring and encompasses several logical fallacies, including appeal to consequences, appeal to fear, appeal to flattery, appeal to pity, appeal to ridicule, appeal to spite, and wishful thinking. Instead of facts, persuasive language is used to develop the foundation of an appeal to emotion-based argument. Thus, the validity of the premises that establish such an argument does not prove to be verifiable.[2] Appeals to emotion are intended to draw visceral feelings from the acquirer of the information. And in turn, the acquirer of the information is intended to be convinced that the statements that were presented in the fallacious argument are true; solely on the basis that the statements may induce emotional stimulation such as fear, pity and joy. Though these emotions may be provoked by an appeal to emotion fallacy, effectively winning the argument, substantial proof of the argument is not offered, and the argument's premises remain invalid.

Why do you think newspapers are less important to people your age than to those in older generations?
murzikaleks [220]
I think newspapers are less important to people my age than to those in older generations because we grew up with technology, thus relying more on it than newspapers books etc. Older generations did not have much technology as we do.
