Metaphysical poetry in the seventeenth century broke away from conventions of lyrical poetry. The difference is apparent in the choice of cacophonousimagery...
Johnson put five poets in this category: John Donne, Andrew Marvel, George Herbert, Richard Crashaw, and Henry Vaughan. However, they never worked as an organized literary movement. They didn't even read each other. It is only today that we can consider them akin.
As for cacophonous imagery, it was one of their foremost characteristics. The word choices and similes would often be shocking and unusual, not just for their own time but even later. For example, comparing two lovers' souls with two compasses in Donne's A Valediction Forbidding Mourning.
The short story “ <u>Mericans </u>“ written by <em><u>Sandra Cisneros</u></em> is the story about children from Mexican descent living in America. They are trying to find their identity between these two worlds. They don’t use their Mexican names in America but easier sounding English names. Micaella (Michelle) narrates the story and she shows the differences between the two cultures, like in the excerpt what the dress code is for church and the woman trying to speak Spanish.
Question: The irony in this excerpt contributes most to which of the following themes?
Answer: B. It is possible for people to be connected to more than one culture.
"American paleontology got a bad reputation from Cope and Marsh's cutthroat behavior", states J. R. Hill in the article The Bone Wars and it is true because they were worried about fame and who was a better paleontologist and did not worried about science.
In the text this shows when it says:
"The mistakes they made in the rush for glory slowed the progress of paleontology for many years".
"In addition to sabotaje, Cope and Marsh forced their teams to dig up and transport bones quickly. Such speed damaged many specimens, but each man wanted the credit of making the first discoveries of new species".
The fallacy of <em>logos</em> is "the last time it rained, our local sports team won. It is raining today, so they will win tonight". It's logos because in order to persuade a target audience it uses a statement empowered by logic. The logical reasoning suggests that if the last time the match was played was raining and they won, now that it's raining again, the will win again. The logical thought is that <em>when it rains, the local team wins.</em>
The fallacy of <em>pathos</em> is "If we don't pass this environmental protection bill now, the world will probably end soon". It's pathos because this fallacy tries to persuade by provoking certain emotions or feelings to readers. In this way, the statement is more appalling to the reader and it feels more emotionally attached to it. By talking about the end of the world, the writer is<em> </em><em>trying to evoke feelings of awareness, sorrow and frightening.</em> So by provoking these feelings, <em>readers may become more aware and concerned</em> about the environmental changes that the human kind needs to make now in order to prevent the complete destruction of our world.
The fallacy of <em>ethos</em> is "My favorite teacher said that we should vote for Mr.Martinez, so I believe he is the best". It's ethos because the writer is convincing people by the credibility or authority of the speaker. In this case, the teacher represents a credible and respectful figure. So the reader <em>decides to vote for whom the teacher said just because THE teacher said that.</em>
