Read the excerpt from the odyssey.

'aye

he'll smash our timbers and our heads together! '

i would not heed them in my glorying spirit,
but let my anger flare and yelled:

'cyclops,

if ever mortal man inquire
how you were put to shame and blinded, tell him
odysseus, raider of cities, took your eye:
laertes' son, whose home's on ithaca! '

what motivates odysseus to reveal his name and put his men in more danger?

anger and pride
gratitude and relief
weakness and fear
joy and excitement

because of all the immigration, america became one big melting pot. the diversity of cultures from all over the world made america somewhat divided as well. people that immigrated stayed with their kind, and their traditions, while native born americans stayed with their kind and their traditions. normally, people born in american scorned the immigrants as well. the new religions also divided america. in summary, it took away from the american culture and identified america as the "melting pot."

when speaking or writing for the sole purpose of providing information in order to give audience members a good basis for making a decision, you would present an informative speech or essay.   because you wouldn’t want to be persuading the audience by arguing for one type of exercise over the other, you wouldn’t choose a persuasive/argumentative technique.   to fairly, and without bias, present information about the pros and cons of each type exercise, a compare/contrast, informative speech/essay would be the best bet.
