English
1 answer:
balandron [24]2 years ago
5 0

The main purpose of the text is to show that college dropouts are not successful because they are college dropouts.

Explanation:

The myth of the college dropout is a text on the well established myths around college dropouts who became really successful in life and busts the myth that somehow being a dropout can help you get success.

This is argued as the <u>people who drop out and became successful were simply in such a position that they did not have to be in college to be successful</u> anymore and could just start their ventures when they wanted to.

It suggests the narrator is traveled without thinking of the time.
This one makes the most sense because he says "at length, I found myself" some traveled for a while. "As the shades of the evening drew on" supports that he was traveling without hinting of the time because night draws on unexpectedly.

Does Samuel Sewall appeal more to logic or to emotion in "The Selling of Joseph: A Memorial"? Back up your response with evidenc
schepotkina [342]

It has logic and emotion, but mostly logic.  His logic is very clear that if you follow the bible you shouldn't condemned slavery and killings of hundred of people. When practicing the bible and being christians one has to act like christ and follow the teachings of him and the bible.  They cannot prove Joseph's enslavement as wrong, but still enslave people who were like Joseph. In it Sewall not only condemns the practice of human trafficking, but goes on to challenge many common slave owners held  the practice of enslavement and yet still be followers of God. He uses Joseph as example to bring light to what they are doing wrong. Sewall also cites several Biblical passages which Sewall uses to make a of the practice of man stealing. Using logic is very clear in his writing about people just choosing to ignore themselves on being a hypocrite and make them question their own strong held belief.
