How did the author construct "Why It Worked: A Rhetorical Analysis of Obama's Speech on Race?" What are your views on the analysis?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The author built the article showing the strategies that Obama used in his speech to reduce his disadvantages during the presidential campaign. The speech's author shows that in addition to being a good orator, Obama was also a great writer who knew words and rhetorical and literary traits very well, being able to efficiently use allusions, resonance, duality and a strong content of ethos and pathos. .

Given this explanation and after listening to Obama's speech, we can agree with the author because it is evident that Obama's speech was very well thought out and planned as a success point in his candidacy.

What is the meaning of The superior man thinks of virtue;the ordinary man thinks of comfort

Answers

Answer:

Confucius meant that the superior man constantly keeps his virtues in the front of his mind, and instead of opting for the “comfortable” option, which is what might feel better just for that moment, he remains steadfast towards virtue, he stays patient and humble. ... Virtue is doing the right thing.Explanation:

Answer:

Let me just use the explanation to answer.

Explanation:

This saying is about morals. Virtue, as used here, means goodness, or whether they are doing the right thing. What the speaker is saying is that it is better to do things because they are right than because they are comfortable. In simple terms the quote says:

The better man thinks of doing good things, while the normal man thinks only of his own happiness and how it is easier to not do the right thing, or to do nothing at all.

The missile landed, the wall of his apartment exploded, blasting broken bits of concrete and glass through the room.  The whole front had collapsed, and Mahmoud felt like he was looking into a giant doll house.

What is a missile?

A missile is a rocket-powered weapon intended to deliver an explosive warhead quickly and accurately.

There are many different types of missiles, ranging from small tactical weapons with a range of only a few hundred feet to considerably bigger strategic weapons with ranges of several thousand miles.

The term "guided missile" is frequently used to describe all missiles because they almost all have some sort of guidance and control system.

Any launch vehicle used to sound the upper atmosphere or send a satellite into orbit is commonly referred to as a rocket, as is an unguided military missile.

Torpedos are underwater missiles propelled by propellers, and cruise missiles are guided missiles propelled along a low, flat flight path by air-breathing jet engines.

Part A: Which word best defines economics as the author uses the word in paragraph 4 of Passage 2, “High schools will keep starting too early. Here’s why”?

That’s surprising because, from the outside, the economics of a later start-time
seem pretty good. A 2011 study from the Brookings Institution looked at three

ways school districts could improve just by getting better organized. Starting

school later for teens was number one.

“Among all the things schools could do to increase student performance, this is

one of the less expensive ones,” says Brian Jacob, an economics and public-policy

professor at the University of Michigan, one of the study’s co-authors. “This is not

like hiring extra teachers to reduce class size, or building a big new expensive

building.”
