How does Reagan use figurative language throughout the speech to make his argument?

English

Wittaler [7]2 years ago
4 0

He uses figurative language to convince his voters. He also gave the allusion that big government is something that the Founding Fathers were avoiding and also gave this statement “This is the issue of this election: whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capitol can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves”. This statement is the perfect allusion to the 13 colonies under the British rule and having no representation in parliament during that time.

Explain what the blank pages in Sirian's book signify. Use evidence from the text to support your position. Your answer should b
Nezavi [6.7K]

The Sirian's book was supposed to be written by Micromegas, an inhabitant of a distant planet who was visiting the Earth with a creature he had met in Saturn. He promised the humans of Earth that he would hand them a miniature volume for their convenience, that would contain the nature of everything, so that nobody would have to debate about the ideas of different philosophers anymore.  

However, when the book was opened in the Academy of Science in Paris, the secretary noticed the pages were blank.

This can be interpreted in different ways, as Micromegas was able to make different comparisons in his journey. First, with his Saturnian companion, and then with the small humans of Earth. He had a lot of knowledge, but was also open to learn new things. In the end, he understood that there was more to proportion than size and distance.

After circumnavigating the planet in 36 hours, and listening to the people in the ship, he learned about humanity's ignorance, wars and injustice. He noticed they liked to quote different philosophers, without necessarily understanding what they meant. Most likely, he decided to leave Earthlings to evolve at their own pace, with their own singularities rather than showing them a wisdom of ages that was not theirs.

The blank pages may mean that he wanted humanity to write their own philosophy instead of exposing them to the knowledge of a different planet which was completely different in size, age and wisdom. Having seen human nature with his magnifying glass, the gift of knowledge could be used for evil purposes rather than to their benefit. Last of all, life is complex and no book could be written about humans, except than by humans themselves.

How does Michio Kaku develop the idea of an impending scientific revolution in “Choreographers of Matter, Life, and Intelligence
motikmotik

by praising the efficiency of modern-day Internet research  doesn't relate to anything regarding "Choreographers of Matter, Life, and Intelligence" when it comes to argumentation. Comparing scientific knowledge to grains of sand on a beach  is poetic, but it is no argument either. Proving names of modern scientists and their contributions also shows nothing but the scientists and their contributions themselves. It doesn't work as proof for <em>"an impending scientific revolution".</em>

What Michio Kaku does, as the good scientist that he is, is to show evidence. And he does so "by providing quantitative proof of recent scientific progress"

Describe the effects of anthropomorphism, the application of human traits to animals, in the dialogue between Sergei and the gol
lora16 [44]

Answer:

The anthropomorphism in this story leaves the tone of the narrative amusing, despite a tense moment that is happening.

Explanation:

The dialogue between the goldfish and Sergei happens when Sergei accidentally kills Yoni.

The narrated scene is tense and heavy, as Yoni collapses on the floor, amid a pool of blood after being hit on the head. However, the anthropomorphism presented by the goldfish in this scene, allows a certain relief in the story and leaves the moment with a slightly amusing tone. That's because the fish shows sarcastic thoughts and speeches, which promotes a comical and funny relief to such a serious moment.
