What is 2 persuasive passages from “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” (include paragraph numbers) and does it show logos or pathos?

Answers

Answer:

1.Considering it was written in a situation so infused with racial issues, the “Letter from Birmingham Jail” is often strangely divorced from explicitly racial issues. Obviously, Dr. King cannot avoid the topic, but much of his argument, especially in the letter’s first half, is presented in universalist terms and through abstractions like “justice” and the interrelatedness of man. He argues that the clergymen, and his larger audience, should support his cause not because the victims are black but because it is the right thing to do. However, this passionate but restrained argument ultimately sets the stage for a declaration of what scholar Jonathan Rieder calls “a proclamation of black self-sufficiency” (94). Once he establishes the definitions of justice and morality, Dr. King argues that the black man will succeed with or without the help of white moderates because they operate with the just ideals of both secular America and divine guidance. Further, he implicitly suggests that by continuing to facilitate the oppression of the black man through moderation, his audience is operating in sin and will ultimately be on the losing side.

2.One recurring idea that supports Dr. King’s arguments is that group mentality supports and enables immorality, and that the individual must therefore act for justice even when the group does not share that goal. He makes this point explicitly in the early part of the “Letter.” This argument supports his defense of civil disobedience, allows him to criticize the church for supporting the status quo rather than empowering crusaders for change, and supports the idea that law must reflect morality since it might otherwise be designed solely for the comfort of the majority. Overall, the discussion of group immorality supports his purpose of encouraging individual action in the face of injustice, and criticizing those who do not support such individual action for fear of upsetting the status quo.

It is common knowledge that marriages are not always about mutual love between two people and during the time that Chopin was writing, this was more often the case.

Susan is throwing a Halloween party at her house, but you've forgotten which house it is! You know that Laura does NOT live directly next to Susan. Kate and Eve are direct neighbors, and Laura lives further to the right of Eve. Which one is Susan's house?

Answers

Answer:

Susan's house is the farthest house to the right.

Explanation:

When we read the question above we can see the following information:

Kate and Eva are neighbors, with houses side by side. Laura is an indirect neighbor to Susan, but their homes are not side by side. Laura is not Kate's neighbor, but lives more on her left.

With this information we can conclude that, if Laura is not Kate's neighbor, but lives on her left side, Laura must be Eva's neighbor, who has the house next to Laura's.

Eve is a neighbor of Kate, so the order of the houses would be:

Laura, Eve, Kate +?

The house that was missing was Susan's house, so Susan is the one who lives on the left.

Brought from all the recesses of the coast in all the legality of time contracts, lost in uncongenial surroundings, fed on unfamiliar food, they sickened, became inefficient, and were then allowed to crawl away and rest."

Answer and Explanation:

According to the text shown above, we can say that the author interprets British imperialism as a machine of suffering for the dominated countries. This is because the author shows that the people who were under the regime of the British empire were "dying slowly" even without being enemies or criminals, but only because imperialism only sought to exploit and subdue nations causing serious problems for its inhabitants.

However, lately, youth sports have become less exciting and more of a stressful experience among kids. It is becoming too much pressure to handle, puts children in danger of physical risk, and just takes too much effort. Youth sports are harming young people more than helping them. The first reason for discontinuing youth sports is that it is becoming too much pressure for kids. More specifically, too much of the pressure that fans and parents put on them to do good. It becomes a lot more stress than they can handle. Source 1 backs this up by saying that a lot of fans have teased or gotten angry at kids, and some of the parents get angry when they dont play up to par. I have seen this happen at baseball games when angry spectators decided to scream at the fielders for not making a slightly harder catch, and it is very disheartening to watch the kids think they are the problem. Youth sports also causes an emotional toll on players. Most of the less talented players are left behind in the dust, with only small, cheap, summer camps and less self-confidence in themselves, while more talented, taller, and faster players get scholarships and have a feeling of superiority. Source 2 even states that Children are playing fewer sports, and the less talented are left behind in recreational leagues with poor coaching, uneven play, and the message that they aren't good enough. Seventy percent of kids quit sports by age 13.. This shows how much more biased youth sports leagues are towards kids that are more talented and physically better than others. Overall, the stress that these leagues put on children is not worth it. The second reason for discontinuing youth sports is that it puts kids in danger of physical injury. Overuse and excessive practice can lead to serious fatigue that could impact players greatly. Even things such as too much exercises and repetitive running laps could make a kid excessively tired and exhausted, making them want to stop playing and lose interest. Also, source 1 highlights that, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, most injuries in youth sports are caused by just overuse and too much training. This statement proves that youth sports repetitive training and overwork can have serious consequences. Injuries are also a big portion of youth sports that can have an extremely big influence on kids. Severe complications could even lead to trauma or disability, making a players mental health and physical health unwell. Source 1 supports this saying that ...These injuries--stress fractures, ruptured ligaments, and growth-plate injuries*--can be quite serious, and many can cause lifelong problems.. Injuries like these could majorly harm an athlete, and even end their career in sports. Youth sports is not as beneficial as it may seem. All in all, youth sports are harming young people. They put excessive stress on athletes, put kids in danger of physical risk, and take too much effort. Clearly, youth sports should not be allowed to continue anymore.
