Do you find the argument Rachel Carson presents in Chapter II of Silent Spring persuasive? Use what you have learned about how authors develop arguments to write a one-paragraph evaluation of Carson’s argument. Keep in mind tools you have gathered for analysis, such as the Toulmin Model and your understanding of rhetorical strategies and elements.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Rachel Carson presents a convincing argument. She uses facts, examples, and expert opinions to appeal to logos to support her claim that pesticides are extremely destructive and only partially effective. She organizes her argument logically, establishing the dangers of pesticides and, then, examining the misuse of these chemicals. As she approaches the end of the argument, she appeals to pathos by using loaded language and vivid imagery. She clearly outlines her contentions and puts forth the call to action: the public needs to inform themselves in order to make a decision about how to proceed.

What are the important features of literary analysis?

Answers

Answer:

The elements that make up a literary work are closely examined for their meaning and significance. Some of these elements are theme, character, and plot. Regardless of what aspect you choose to discuss, your analysis will focus on one controlling idea that, if writing, can be stated in one direct sentence.

Explanation:  


Pelucita is evaluating sources to help her answer her research question, "What are the most popular magic tricks?" Would the
following source be effective in helping to answer her research question?
Magic is short for Magic: The Gathering, which is known as the first official trading card game. Invented by Richard Garfield, the
game was first released in 1993 and has become extremely popular since then. The cards are now also available online, so players
can play in a variety of ways. The game is played by two or more people, and each game is a battle between different wizards.




No, because the source does not ask any questions.

Yes, because the source includes facts.


No, because the source describes a different topic.

Yes, because the source
mentions magic.

Answers

Answer: No, because the source describes a different topic.

Explanation:

An effective source for Pelucita's research question would be one that gives details on magic tricks and the most popular ones amongst them.

This source however, is describing something else. It alludes to the a card game called Magic and not actual magic which means that it will not talk about magic tricks and which ones are the most popular but rather about a card game.

It is therefore not an effective source.

Which sentence in this excerpt from Theodore Roosevelt's "Citizenship In a Republic speech conveys his central claim about cynical people?
But with you and us the case is different. With you here, and with us in my own home, in the long run, success or failure will be conditioned
upon the way in which the average man, the average women, does his or her duty, first in the ordinary, every-day affairs of life, and next in those
great occasional cries which call for heroic virtues. The average citizen must be a good citizen if our republics are to succeed. The stream will not
permanently rise higher than the main source; and the main source of national power and national greatness is found in the average citizenship
of the nation. Therefore it behooves us to do our best to see that the standard of the average citizen is kept high; and the average cannot be
kept high unless the standard of the leaders is very much higher.
Let the man of learning, the man of lettered leisure, beware of that queer and cheap temptation to pose to himself and to others as a cynic, as
the man who has outgrown emotions and beliefs, the man to whom good and evil are as one. The poorest way to face life is to face it with a
sneer. There are many men who feel a kind of twister pride in cynicism, there are many who confine themselves to criticism of the way others do
what they themselves dare not even attempt. There is no more unhealthy being, no man less worthy of respect, than he who either really holds,
or feigns to hold, an attitude of sneering disbelief toward all that is great and lofty, whether in achievement or in that noble effort which, even if
it fails, comes to second achievement. A cynical habit of thought and speech, a readiness to criticise work which the critic himself never tries to
perform, an Intellectual aloofness which will not accept contact with life's realities - all these are marks, not as the possessor would fain to think,
of superiority but of weakness. They mark the men unfit to bear their part painfully in the stern strife of living, who seek, in the affection of
contempt for the achievements of others, to hide from others and from themselves in their own weakness. The role is easy; there is none easler,
save only the role of the man who sneers alike at both criticism and performance.

Answer:

There is no more unhealthy being, no man less worthy of respect, than he who either really holds,  or feigns to hold, an attitude of sneering disbelief toward all that is great and lofty, whether in achievement or in that noble effort which, even if  it fails, comes to second achievement.

Explanation:

This may be wrong, but I'm certain this is the answer because it describes a cynic from a very opinionated point of view.

There is no more unhealthy being------------------------------comes to second achievement is the sentence in this excerpt from Theodore Roosevelt's "Citizenship In a Republic speech conveys his central claim about cynical people. Thus, option (d) is correct.

Who is Theodore Roosevelt's?

President Theodore Roosevelt was the most effective “conservationist.” October 27, 1858, marked Theodore Roosevelt's birth. In addition to conservation, Roosevelt's top priorities changed. A total of 230 million acres of public land were protected under Theodore Roosevelt.

In the preceding clause, Roosevelt starts to address cynical people, Beware of the strange and cheap desire to present oneself and others as a cynic, a man who has outgrown feelings and beliefs, and a person to whom good and evil are synonymous. This applies to both men and women of study and lettered leisure.

As a result, the Theodore Roosevelt's "Citizenship In a Republic speech conveys his central claim about cynical people are the aforementioned. Therefore, option (d) is correct.

cancer is a strange mutation of cells. it is a killer that was not stopped in the age of the Roman Empire, and Augustus may have been close in a medical standpoint. The cancer was his cells, and it most certainly was a battle. Dying by cancer meant dying without honor or bravery. Men would rather die of battle scars or wounds than die sitting on a couch sick. Augustus was an honorable caesar, so he would not want to die for dishonorable reasons like a disease.

Can you please put “provision” into a compound or complex sentence...I need the answer now please

Answers

Answer:

The provision of health care for children decreased, but the provision of books in schools increased.

Explanation:

The sentence is a compound one because it has two independent clauses, which means that the two sentences can stand on their own since they make sense, and we link them by the coordinating conjunction but. The two independent clauses are "The provision of health care for children decreased" and "the provision of facilities in schools increased"

If we want to create a complex sentence, we write a sentence with one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. For example, we can say: The provision of food increased, despite the heavy rain.
