<span>The central idea of this excerpt is that Revere traveled through several towns to spread the word that the British were on their way. It takes us through his actions and the ensuing events as if we are reading it in real time. The structure supports these concepts due to its repetition of the time. It begins the first stanza with "It was twelve by the village clock," then begins the second stanza with "It was one by the village clock," etc. This builds suspense for his ride, and gives us an overview of how long this ride actually took. </span>

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The entire essay gives truthful facts about the author.

The essay is an example of Sorrentino's humour.

Explanation:

Sorrention says in his essay: "I'm writing this in the first person to emphasize the truth of these statements" and "..  Considering that I have been writing for thirty-two years, my bibliography is fairly short. "   These make  it evident that he talks by himself and he has to do so in the first person to sound reliable. He is very young and it seems that no one will talk about his works as a writer for the time being. Besides, there is not much to say about himself but just to mention all the books he has written so far. He sounds ironic but reliable.

snow_lady [41]
<span>“Our distinct cultures nourish each one of us” - I think that this phrase is the one that best uses persuasion because it makes the readers think. It prompts them to think on how his or her own culture have nourished him or her and others of different culture. It also makes people think of how he or she benefited from other culture as well. </span>
