From The Village Blacksmith Which statement best describes a way that the passage
is different from the poem?
Under a spreading chestnut-tree
The village smithy stands;
The smith, a mighty man is he,
with large and sinewy hands;
And the muscles of his brawny arms
Are strong as iron bands.
O 1. Specific details in the passage create a vivid
picture for the reader.
2. The point of view in the passage reveals the
Inner thoughts of the narrator.
His hair is crisp, and black, and long,
His face is like the tan;
His brow is wet with honest sweat,
He earns whate'er he can,
03. The use of past tense in the passage suggests
that the narrator is unreliable.
04. Comparison is used in the passage to help the
reader Imagine physical features.
(from "The Village Blacksmith" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)
from My Antonia
At that moment the father came out of the hole in the bank. He wore no hat,
and his thick, Iron-gray hair was brushed straight back from his forehead. It was so
long that it bushed out behind his ears, and made him look like the old portraits
remembered in Virginia. He was tall and slender, and his thin shoulders stooped. He
looked at us understandingly, then took grandmother's hand and bent over it. I
noticed how white and well-shaped his own hands were. They looked calm,
somehow, and skilled.

Read the excerpt from queen elizabeth's address to the troops at tilbury. let tyrants fear, i have always so behaved myself, that, under god, i have placed my chiefest strength and safeguard in the loyal hearts and good will of my subjects, and therefore i am come amongst you, as you see, at this time, not for my recreation and disport, but being resolved in the midst and heat of the battle, to live or die among you all, to lay down for my god, and for my kingdoms, and for my people, my honour, and my blood, even in the dust. which statement best describes queen elizabeth's use of rhetorical appeals in this excerpt? she relies on ethos by explaining that she has previous experience fighting in battles. she relies on pathos by providing examples of other successes she has had as a ruler. she relies on ethos by establishing that she is there for more than just recreation. she relies on pathos by using emotionally charged words to motivate the troops.

What is one way to appeal to ethos?

Select the correct text in the passage. which sentence in this excerpt from abraham lincoln's second inaugural address conveys that he wanted the us civil war to end as soon as possible? neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with or even before the conflict itself should cease. each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. both read the same bible and pray to the same god, and each invokes his aid against the other. it may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just inging their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged. the prayers of both could not be answered. that of neither has been answered fully. the almighty has his own purposes. "woe unto the world because of offenses, for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh" if we shall suppose that american slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of god, must needs come, but which, having continued through his appointed time, he now wills to remove, and that he gives to both north and south this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living god always ascribe to him? fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. yet, if god wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the lord are true and righteous altogether." reset next
