In 1847 Eliza Stacey, a frontier farmer's wife in Canada, wrote to Edward Stacey, her father-in-law back in England. Her father-

in-law had previously helped her husband, George, when he had fallen into debt. Read the letter carefully. Then write an essay in which you explain how Eliza Stacey's letter functions rhetorically as an attempt to persuade her father-in-law to help her family once more.

Explanation:

In the letter Eliza Stacey’s wrote to her father in law, she uses an appeal to his emotions so as to convince him to help in the payment of her husband’s debt. Eliza also utilizes pleading, pitiful diction and a tone which conveys the helplessness of her situations.

By bringing attention to the hardships through these strategies, the father-in-law will feel concerned and sympathetic towards her and her family. Her use of emotional appeal is also noticeable when she mentions her pregnancy. She explained that with her husband in jail two weeks before she will give birth, her pain “can change to travail” and continues to vent about the fear of delivering the baby without the presence of her husband, and also said how can she survive without her husband? She is clearly giving her father in law reasons to help them.

Hello!

The effects of using the figurative language that is described in the story are:

By speculating about his genetic makeup, the author conveys a contemplative tone.

By referencing his persistence, the author conveys a proud tone

By describing the differences between a terrier and a spaniel, the author implies an ironic tone.

Argument:

The author tends to use plenty of metaphors and similes with a tendency of contradiction. For example, when the author compares a spaniel and a terrier gives the reader a metaphor of how different these races are between each other but at the same time, he shows how valuable is Nibble, the mongrel dog.

The reader can infer that <span>Dave is like a child because all of his pay is given to his mother.

Considering that he is still 17 (but he already wants to own a gun), he is still relatively young and it is reasonable that his pay goes to his mother.</span>

mr_godi [17]

In the story called, “The Monkey’s Paw,” the author, W.W Jacobs, uses foreshadowing to add suspense. When Mrs. White asks Sergeant Major if any one else made a wish he says, “Yes. I don't know what the first two were, but the third was for death." The author also uses foreshadowing when Mrs. White jokes and says to wish for four arms Sergeant Major "with a look of alarm on his face," catches Mr. White's arm. 'If you must wish,' he said gruffly, 'wish for something sensible.'" Foreshadowing is also used when Sergeant Major is telling his feelings about the monkey’s paw. It states, “‘Pitch it on the fire again like a sensible man.’” Here he is warning Me. White of the consequences if he makes a wish. From this dialogue I readers can infer that something bad is going to happen.
