~Elisabeth
He's looking at the fire like a newborn baby looks at the world; very curious of what it is and how it happened.
With the help of inductive reasoning, he reached the conclusion that segregation laws are all unjust.
<u>Explanation:</u>
In the three part deductive statement, the major premise was all the laws that degrade the human personality are unjust. The minor premise was segregation laws degrade the human personality and therefore the conclusion was that the segregation laws are unjust.
This conclusion has been derived from the evidences like the hate filled policemen kick brothers and sisters. African American caught in an airtight prison of poverty. They were excluded from amusement parks. All this degraded the human personality and were unjust.
Answer: C. He talks about how much he cares for Yorick as they knew each other but how like everyone he would die.
Answer:
d. He states that sending children to the butcher would be as simple as "roasting pigs."
Explanation:
Jonathan Swift was an English writer, critic and poet who had also greatly written about the political issues of his society and time. The essay "A Modest Proposal" was anonymously published by him as a form of critiquing the impoverished nature of the Irish people and their economic troubles.
The excerpt from the essay shows Swift suggesting sarcastically that poor families should produce children and then sell them as meat for the rich. He implies that this will not only give an endless supply of food (meat) for the rich to entertain their guests but also provide a steady source of income for the poor people too. This will enable the balance in the economic situation of the Irish people.
An understatement is the presentation of something that is serious in a far less serious manner. This makes the issue seem less serious or less important. Swift uses an understatement when he stated that sending children to the butcher would be as simple as "roasting pigs". Sending children to be killed and eaten as meat is a serious and horrifying thing to do, but he compares it to a simple act of "roasting pigs", thus making it an understatement.
