In at least one hundred words, identify Goines's purpose in "Let Sleeping Dogs Lie," and explain how his use of satire helps the
kogti [31]

In Let Sleeping Dogs Lie, Goines tries to show the reader, in a satirical way, that some small issues are better left “asleep”. He uses imagery (irony and mockery for example), which is a figurative language, to describe and attack the bureaucracy of the United States government and ridicules the drafting system.

He uses satire as a literary device to speak about a complex subject in a more understandable way, putting out the idea of a sleeping dog which, at first, seems to be harmless because it is asleep, but then turns into a very big and dangerous problem when it is awaken.

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

(4) Some people believe that the government does not have the right to force people to be safe, and that these laws are unfair.

Explanation:

Counter argument is a statement which opposes writer's main argument for any purpose. However when a writer opposes one's own argument, it is usually for the purpose of including all point of views and aspects of the problem. In most of such cases the author negates (presents counter of counter argument) to finally establish one's original argument.

In this passage, the author is trying to establish the importance of making seat belts mandatory by law in each state of the United States. However in line 4, he presents some other people's point of view on this issue. And in line 5, restates his/her original argument. The overall effect, the author is trying to bring about in the audience by including the counter argument is that, he/she has already considered the counter argument as well.
