Influence
Persuasive essays give the reader reasons to go through with an idea.
Vinvika [58]2 years ago

The answer is: defend.  The whole purpose in a<em> Persuasive Essay</em> is to try to <em>convince</em> the readers about certain things. This requires that the writer take a firm position, <em>defending his points</em>.  He doesn't present the other side, but, because he believes he is suggesting ideas that will make things better, he invites participation and advises that if the ideas are not embraced, things might not get better.

I would say the answer is a. 5 and 7 because one is talking about teaching your dog to sit and the other is teaching your dog to lay down. I have a dog and to teach her to sit the process is the same as teaching her to lay down (I.e. you do the process to teach her either of those skills). Hope this helped! :)

Editor: Now that it has been definitely established that nonsmokers have the right to tell smokers not to pollute their air, it
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Yes, it's correct

Explanation:

The nonsmokers have the right to tell smokers not to pollute their air, it follows that people who don’t own cars have the right to tell car owners not to drive, because the air from smokers (tobaco, etc.) can create bad impacts on others' health and if the car owners do not know how to drive and still drive their cars carelessly, it will cause the traffic accidents. So, you do not need to own any cars to have the right to tell car owners not to drive.

In at least 150 words, discuss in what ways the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass make a powerful case against slavery
Alenkinab [10]

Douglass was separated from his Harriet Bailey, his mother, soon after he was born as he tells us through his writings.


- ¨Never having enjoyed, to any considerable extent, her soothing presence, her tender and watchful care, I received the tidings of [my mother’s] death with much the same emotions I should have probably felt at the death of a stranger¨


In Chapter I of the Narrative, Douglass explains that his master separates him from his mother soon after his birth. This separation ensured that Douglass did not develop a family bond toward his mother. Douglass talks about how a slave is “shaped,” beginning at birth. He explains the ways by which slave owners alter social bonds and the natural processes of life in order to transform men into slaves. This process begins at birth. Slave traders first remove a child from his family, and Douglass shows how this destroys the child’s support and sense of a personal history.


In this quotation, Douglass uses adjectives like “soothing” and “tender” to re-create the childhood he would have known if his mother had been present. Douglass often recreates this assertion in his narrative in order to contrast normal stages of childhood development with the quality of development that he knew as a child.


His focus on the family structure and the awful moment of his mother’s death is typical of the conventions of nineteenth-century sentimental narratives. The destruction of family structure would have saddened readers and appeared to be a signal of the larger moral illnesses of the culture. Douglass, like many nineteenth-century authors, shows how social injustice can be expressed through the breakdown of a family structure. Douglass became deeply engaged with the abolitionist movement as both a writer and an orator.
