Ihave been a nurse for twenty years. in that time, i have seen a great number of patients suffer because they did not have health insurance. one of the worst cases was a young mother of two who was diagnosed with early stage skin cancer. because she could not afford treatment, the cancer spread from her skin to other parts of her body. by the time i saw her for the first time, the cancer had reached her brain, and she could no longer be . this sort of thing should not happen to anyone. a strong universal health care system could prevent instances like this from occurring. what makes this appeal from the paragraph convincing? i have been a nurse for twenty years. it uses proven data as evidence. it appeals to the reader’s emotions. it shows the writer’s credibility. it reveals important statistics.

Read the passage from animal farm. "that was part of the arrangement! " cried squealer. "jones's shot only grazed him. i could show you this in his own writing, if you were able to read it. the plot was for snowball, at the critical moment, to give the signal for flight and leave the field to the enemy. and he very nearly succeeded—i will even say, comrades, he would have succeeded if it had not been for our heroic leader, comrade napoleon. do you not remember how, just at the moment when jones and his men had got inside the yard, snowball suddenly turned and fled, and many animals followed him? and do you not remember, too, that it was just at that moment, when panic was spreading and all seemed lost, that comrade napoleon sprang forward with a cry of 'death to humanity! ' and sank his teeth in jones's leg? surely you remember that, comrades? " exclaimed squealer, frisking from side to side. now when squealer described the scene so graphically, it seemed to the animals that they did remember it. at any rate, they remembered that at the critical moment of the battle snowball had turned to flee. but boxer was still a little uneasy. how does the characterization of squealer support the author’s purpose? squealer's dramatic accusations draw parallels between him and stalin’s propagandists. squealer's uncertainty shows that he is not a reliable ally of napoleon and is ineffective with messaging. squealer's ability to get the animals to listen to him shows that any animal can rise to be a leader in time. squealer's humble interactions with the animals reflect the importance of equality and cooperation.
