Read the following excerpt from Leslie Marmon Silko’s story "The Man to Send Rain Clouds." Before they wrapped the old man, Leon

took a piece of string out of his pocket and tied a small gray feather in the old man's long white hair. Ken gave him the paint. Across the brown wrinkled forehead he drew a streak of white and along the high cheekbones he drew a strip of blue paint. He paused and watched Ken throw pinches of corn meal and pollen into the wind that fluttered the small gray feather. Then Leon painted with yellow under the old man's broad nose, and finally, when he had painted green across the chin, he smiled. The actions of Leon and Ken indicate that

Explain the purposes behind Dante’s development and use of the contrapasso. Your answer should be at least 250 words.
kodGreya [7K]

What makes Dante's work so remarkable is his creation of the contrapasso - punishments in <em>Inferno</em> that ironically reflect or contrast the sin itself. We learn about this term in Canto XXVIII, when Bertran de Born states, "Thus is observed in me the counterpoise." In this, he is physcally separated by decapitation, and carries his talking head. He explains that his sin is a political one, by turning the Young King against his father.  

"Know that Bertram de Born am I, the same

Who gave to the Young King the evil comfort.

         I made the father and the son rebellious;

              Achitophel not more with Absalom

And David did with his accursed goadings.

         Because I parted persons so united,

              Parted do I now bear my brain, alas!"

(XXVIII, 142)


The purpose behind the contrapasso is to serve a divine karma to the souls of the Inferno. Instead of generalizing the punishment unfairly, each soul is tortured as a reflection of their chosen sin during their life. For instance, located in  the First Circle are unbaptized souls or virtuous pagans who are neither in Hell or out of it. While they have not sinned, they were unable to chose a side or accept Christ, which leaves them in a neutral area.

In contrast to this, Dante enters circles 2 - 9 and discovers more severe sins and their matching punishments. The outer ring of the Seventh Circle shows distinct differences between sinners that have commited violence. The punishment for violence is submersion in a river of boiling blood - symbolic for spilled blood - but highly violent tyrants are completely submerged, whereas those that commited less violence only sit ot stand in the boiling river.

Which sentence most strongly uses pathos in this passage from Susan B. Anthony's "Speech After Being Convicted of Voting"?
Sergio [31]

As you may know, the use of pathos is an appeal to emotion that mainly tugs on the heart strings in order to have readers/audience members feel sorry for the writer/speaker so that they may be more easily persuaded.  That said, the line of the speech that seems to do this the most strongly is the first line:  “Friends and fellow citizens:  I stand before you tonight under indictment for the alleged crime of having voted at the last presidential election, without having a lawful right to vote.”  To state that a person is before you who is indicted can certainly lend to the possibility of feeling sorry for them.
