<span>When constructing an argument, one thing
writers do is concede a point. This
technique demonstrates to readers that the author considered both sides of the
argument and that the argument being presented is not entirely one sided. Thus, what the author is doing here is conceding
the point that tablets can be cost prohibitive.
However, when conceding a point, it is best to immediately follow it up
with a rebuttal. In this particular
instance, what the author should do is include information on cost and perhaps
try to undermine the point being conceded by mentioning the cost of text books,
which can, too, be quite pricey and cannot be updated as easily as information
on a tablet. </span>
The word sense in line 69 of The Odyssey Part lll means rationality.
I believe that the work is Marc Anthony's Speech from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar ,and the full line is:
O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
and his purpose is to say that the judgement is not following the reason, but instead that people follow the wrong people in their judgement (those people is what he means by "brutish beasts")
