Dear friend.
Imagine him receiving that message has been the only happiness in my life. I don't know you, nor do you know me, but if fate has allowed you to find my message, it's because you need to know about me and help, if not me, other victims like me.
I find myself trapped in the basement of the sadistic, mad, murderous General Zaroff. I arrived here after my ship wreck survived. I came in search of help, but I only received despair and panic. The general hunts me like an animal, plotting my death all the time. I can no longer sleep, and control my nerves, I live on the edge of insanity all the time and I believe that my days of life will be short if I remain here, or if I throw myself into the sea, trying in vain to escape my captivity.
I'm afraid of suffering at the hands of Zaroff, I'm afraid of a slow and painful death, but my biggest fear is that this rascal will get away with his actions.
Please take this letter to the authorities and help an unfortunate person like me.
Most people think that dogs are a mans best friend, but cats are just as loved as dogs are. Many people across the world love cats and love the positivity that they spread. Just like dogs, cats are loyal companions who will try their best to help their owner.
Answer: Ethos.
Explanation: there are three main rhetorical strategies when giving an argument in a speech or in a text, they are pathos, logos and ethos. Pathos is appealing to the audience's emotions, logos consists in appealing to the audience's logic, and ethos is appealing to the audience's ethics. In the given excerpt from Kennedy's speech, we can see an example of Ethos, because he is using his position as president (which gives him credibility) to convince the audience.
Animal Farm was written by George Orwell as an allegory for the Russian Revolution.
First of all, all characters from this short novel represent a person, idea or movement. For example, Mr. Jones represented Czar Nicholas II, and he had the same characteristics as the Czar. Mr. Jones was irresponsible cruel and not fit for his duty.
Other examples are Old Major and Snowball. Old Major represented Karl Marx who was the creator of communism, and consequently in the story Old Major taught "animalism". Snowball represented Leon Tolstoy, one of the leaders of the October Revolution and a very smart and idealistic person, consequently Snowball led the revolution at the farm and had the same personal characteristics as Tolstoy.
Finally, Napoleon represented Joseph Stalin who was corrupt, selfish and only cared for power.
The Russian Revolution was a process that overthrew the Czar and established Lenin's regime. This situation is directly mirrored in the story because the same happens, there's a revolution and subsequently a new hard and unfair regime is established.
Are these the lines you were referring to?
<span>1)Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore
2)This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing
To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom's core
3)But whose velvet violet lining with the lamp-light gloating o'er,
She shall press, ah, nevermore
4)Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer
Swung by seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor
5)Respite—respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore!
Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe, and forget this lost Lenore!"
The answer would then be 3 and 5.
The lines of choice 3 is referring to the velvet violet lining of the cushion where Lenore used to sit. He remembers that Lenore will no longer sit on that cushion again.
The lines of choice 5 on the other hand refers to the part where he was having delusions. The imaginary smell he supposed was nepenthe, which in mythology was a drink or a potion that helps one forget. He claimed it must be a scent sent by God to help him forget Lenore.
