Answer 8

Answer 9

i have to do both of them tomorrow because thats all i have left other than my exam

Answer 10

Okay, so if I remember correctly, module 5 is on argumentation. So I just took a look at the study guide. Do you know what a claim and counterclaim are?

Answer 11

umm a claim is a state or assert that something is the case, typically without providing evidence or proof. and a counterclaim is a claim made to rebut a previous claim.?

Answer 12

Good. (: Paste that into the first part of the document you attached.

Answer 13

Thanks, and alrighty

Answer 14

No problem (: Do you know the difference between an argumentative essay Versus a persuasive
essay?

Answer 15

Actually no :(

Answer 16

Okay. (: An argumentitive essay utilizes the claim and counterclaim you have just told me about, so basically, it is a factual essay that favors one opinion but states both sides of the argument.

On the other hand, a persuasive essay tends to be biased, meaning it only pertains to one side of an argument, it is more opinionated and doesn't express both sides of an argument.

Answer 17

Does that make sense?

Answer 18

OMG yes but wait.. how does an argumentative essay is basically like an argument in court?

Answer 19

wait.. that came out wrong ._. so basically an argumentative essay is like an argument in court?

Answer 20

In a way, yes.

Answer 21

ohh... so whats the one you would use in court then?

Answer 22

Well read again what @someonenew111 wrote again and ask yourself

Answer 23

If you don't understand I will explain it

Answer 24

Ohhh okay i feel stupid lol i got it now :p

Answer 25

Now do you know that difference of direct quotation and a paraphrase?

Answer 26

The difference in a direct quote and paraphrasing is the wording. A direct quote is repeating exactly what was said. Paraphrasing is repeating the gist of what was said but not using the exact words?

Answer 27

wait i dont know what this is? How do logos, pathos, and ethos fit in with the definition?

Answer 28

Exactly:)

Answer 29

Okay good but i still dont know what that means ^^^

Answer 30

Ethos (Credibility), or ethical appeal, means convincing by the character of the author. We tend to believe people whom we respect. One of the central problems of argumentation is to project an impression to the reader that you are someone worth listening to, in other words making yourself as author into an authority on the subject of the paper, as well as someone who is likable and worthy of respect.

Pathos (Emotional) means persuading by appealing to the reader's emotions. We can look at texts ranging from classic essays to contemporary advertisements to see how pathos, emotional appeals, are used to persuade. Language choice affects the audience's emotional response, and emotional appeal can effectively be used to enhance an argument.

Logos (Logical) means persuading by the use of reasoning. This will be the most important technique we will study, and Aristotle's favorite. We'll look at deductive and inductive reasoning, and discuss what makes an effective, persuasive reason to back up your claims. Giving reasons is the heart of argumentation, and cannot be emphasized enough. We'll study the types of support you can use to substantiate your thesis, and look at some of the common logical fallacies, in order to avoid them in your writing.

Answer 31

Answer 39

Try in a newspaper when they interview witnesses, or a magazine that had a survey about there product, a TV broadcast. Really anything but these are where they are found the most.

Answer 54

Okay. So I'm going to take what you told me and make it a bit more broad by saying.. "Making a connection with the audience is a challenge to you and makes you feel uneasy."

Answer 55

lol that sounds way more professional

Answer 56

Wow. Sorry

Answer 57

Well put something along those lines as your answer to 1 and also write if you were able to get over that feeling or not

Answer 58

wait sorry for what? and what question was that?

Answer 59

"What public speaking tips do you find most challenging, and did you improve on them?"

Answer 60

It looked as if it repeated something I had already stated in the comments, that's why I apologized.

Answer 61

ohh it's fine lol, and i dont see that question :( what number is it?

Answer 62

i dont see that at all

Answer 63

It was in the second file you sent. You had already answered the question though and I didn't see it. Here We can work on the question "What makes a strong/effective thesis statement?"

Answer 64

Ohhhh sorry i see it, i need help with this :(

Answer 65

Yesssss, I was confused for a minute, my mistake. Do you know what a thesis statement is?

Answer 66

lol it's fine, umm is it a thesis statement is, how thesis statements work in your writing, and how you can craft or refine one for your draft?

Answer 67

A thesis statement is a one-sentence statement that summarizes a main point or claim of an essay.

Answer 68

oh.... ._. and i already did the 2nd question

Answer 69

So we have to look at what makes a thesis effective in an essay and how to make an effective thesis.

Answer 70

Okieee

Answer 71

:p so i have no idea for this
How do you write an effective/strong thesis statement?

Answer 72

Okay, this a pretty simple. To write a strong thesis statement you need to include; the topic of the essay, the two or three topics of your body paragraphs, and your main claim (what you believe in or will be talking about in the essay)

Answer 73

They go in that order too.

Answer 74

Ohh wow thank you! you didnt have to put them in order

Answer 75

What you may also want to include under that question is that an effective thesis statement is one sentence
answers the question
is specific and
offers a meaningful interpretation

Answer 76

I'm happy to help (:

Answer 77

thank you! and ohh for question 4 How does William Wordsworth use tone to express his relationship with nature in “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud”? this is the story...

Answer 78

I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. The waves beside them danced; but they Out-did the sparkling waves in glee: A poet could not but be gay, In such a jocund company: I gazed—and gazed—but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought: For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils.

Answer 79

I'm not sure with this soley because I got an alternative assignment to do being that I was in honors but I will take a look at it.

Answer 80

I think he uses a tone of serenity to describe his relationship with nature, he seems really at ease and he uses vivid descriptions to engage the reader into his piece of writing.
