Answer:

In this excerpt, Reagan uses:

C. allusion to give his speech more authority.

Explanation:

Allusion is a figure of speech in which a reference is made to something or someone. It is common for the author or speaker to not explain much, since he assumes the audience knows to whom or what he refers.

<u>In this particular case, President Reagan used allusion with the purpose of conferring his speech more authority. The Bible is a well-known book, even in countries where Christianity is not prevalent. In the U.S., a country largely constituted of Christians, alluding to the Bible is a way to immediately inspire respect and evoke obedience. Therefore, mentioning the wisdom "contained in the book of Genesis in the Bible" helps Reagan's speech sound more authoritative, more worthy of respect</u>.

How does Bradbury create irony in his story "The Pedestrian"?
Agata [3.3K]
The answer is C. A case of dramatic irony is the point at which the police submit the main normal individual in the city. Dramatic irony is the point at which the per user knows something that the characters don't, and the character's activities bring about something startling. In the story, we understand that the storyteller is unique in relation to whatever is left of his general public.

Write a narrative essay about a moment in your life when you were judged by something other than the content of your character.
Masja [62]

Answer:

In the 6th grade I was more worried about fitting in then being myself. I dressed different, barely spoke, and hung out with the sort of people I didnt really care to be friends with. But because of all those things I did I was known as the popular girl, even though everyone who had known me before knew that wasnt true me. I got tired of putting on a fake show so after the first few weeks I quit and started acting like myself again. Everyone who I was hanging out with quit speaking to me, and pretended I no longer existed. All because I didnt dress like them even though I still acted the same.

Foreshadowing is a literary device in which a writer gives an advance hint of what is to come later in the story. How does the a
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.
