Read the excerpt from chapter 6 of lizzie bright and the buckminster boy. "because i wanted to know if it was true." "if what was true? " "if lizzie was lying to me. if all she wanted to do was to get me on her side so she wouldn't have to leave the island." reverend buckminster sighed. "it doesn't matter if it's true. it matters what people think. it matters that my congregation can tell me what to think when my son goes out to visit a negro girl on malaga island. it doesn't matter at all how she got you out there." "it matters to me," turner whispered. "speak up! " "it matters to me." the grim silence circled the room like an eager tiger. it flicked its tail greedily at them, circling, circling, circling. turner felt that it was about to pounce, claws fully out. and then it did. consider reverend buckminster’s words: "it doesn’t matter if it’s true. it matters what people think.” how might the story be different had it been told primarily from the perspective of an adult? it would focus more on the social implications of the racial conflict. it would focus less on the racial conflict between the two towns. it would be more accurate since adults tend to be more truthful. it would be less biased since adults tend to have fewer prejudices.

"and these i address to all females that would be married, or are already so; not that i suppose their sex more faulty than the other, and most to want advice, for i assure [women], upon my honour, i believe the quite contrary; but the reason is, because i esteem them better disposed to receive and practice it, and therefore am willing to begin, where i may promise myself the best success." this statement from franklin's "rules and maxims for promoting matrimonial happiness" best demonstrates his use of criticism to argue his point his use of common sense to appeal to women his use of flattery to gain women's attention his use of facts to prove his point

Why does the author's description of the mercury boiler—"the mercury, when vaporized, going into a mercury turbine and then into a condenser, remaining hot enough to generate steam in a steam boiler"—intentionally incorporate such highly technical language? using technical language establishes the expertise of the writer and convey the complex nature of the process being described. using technical language allows the writer to subtly poke fun at those who seek to make basic processes seem overly complicated. using technical language encourages readers to develop deeper and more meaningful personal connections to the information. using technical language lets the writer make clear to readers that the article is intended for readers who are themselves experts on electricity.
