Read the following passage from "resistance to civil government" by henry
david thoreau:
a wise man will not leave the right to the mercy of chance,
nor wish it to prevail through the power of the majority.
there is but little virtue in the action of masses of men.
when the majority shall at length vote for the abolition of
slavery, it will be because they are indifferent to slavery, or
because there is but little slavery left to be abolished by
their vote. they will then be the only slaves. only his vote
can hasten the abolition of slavery who asserts his own
freedom by his vote.
how does thoreau use logos in this passage?
o
a. by providing factual evidence that his claims are trustworthy
o
b. by demonstrating the soundness of his argument through analogy
o
c. by evoking in readers the negative feelings associated with
slavery
d. by establishing his credibility by relating his expertise on the subject

animal farm, written by george orwell, is a representation of russia after the revolution that led stalin to take over power.

in this excerpt, the central idea seems to be that the animals (a representation of society), when they believe to be working for a greater good and equality, are obedient and productive. they were convinced that, after expelling the owner (jones) from the farm, they would live in harmony and be fairly treated.

as we know, the pigs become the leaders and grow more selfish and dictatorial with time. in the end, they look and act in a way so similar to humans that it is impossible to tell the difference. the ideals of equality are shattered, and the farm turns out to be worse than it was before. the animals are manipulated with false propaganda and forced to work in order to enrich the pigs.

i believe that the answer is b! i hope i out!

every four years the american people choose a new president, and 1988 is one of those years."
