Answer 16

I was going to base my paragraph off of Tris from the Divergent series. Have you read Divergent?

Tris from the Divergent series is getting charged with resistance to authority, assault, and murder.

Answer 18

I just don't know what to put for the argument

Answer 20

Do you know how to use logos in an argument?

Answer 21

Logos is just logic.

Answer 22

For example, you might argue that the character did not break a specific law for a specific reason. You might also argue that there is no evidence to convict them, etc.

Answer 23

well for the arguement you can put that she is resistant to join the same district as her parents because she is what they call a "Divergent" so she is now on the run.

Answer 24

Yeah, I am typing up my argument rn, and when I'm done I'm gonna past it here and you can see if it sounds good or not, lol

Answer 25

Answer 26

Tris from the Divergent series is getting charged with resistance to authority, assault, and murder. However Tris is not the guilty one here, there is a logical explanation to why she did those things, and once I explain them you'll see that really, Tris is innocent and she is not at fault for what happened. First of all, let's talk about what really happened. The leaders of Erudite, the intelligent, teamed up with the leaders of Dauntless,the brave, to exterminate, or get rid of everybody in the Abnegation faction, the selfless. So right off the bat we see who the evil ones are. How could anybody have the heart to exterminate a whole faction, kids and all?? Moreover, why would anybody want to exterminate the Abnegation faction, which consists of purely selfless people?? In order to achieve this, the leaders of Dauntless, using a serum that the leaders of Erudite provided them, injected this serum into their soldiers to make them completely succeptible to orders and directions. This worked on all the soldiers except the few who were divergent, because divergent can resist/ block the serum, while others can't. Since Tris is divergent she was able to resist this serum, and when she saw what was going on, that they were using them to kill all these innocent people, she of course tried to stop this from happening, because that is what heroes do. So she resisted the serum, and resisted captivity, therefore "reisting authority" so she could save the millions of lives at stake. She also then had to fight off many people violently, therefore "assaulting them", but also for the same purpose, to save all these innocent people from dying. Lastly, when she was on her way to save these peoples lives, her friend and fellow soldier, still under the serum, was in her way, and he was going to kill her so she wouldn't have a chance to sabotage this plan. And as sad and horrible as it made her feel, the only way for her to survive and be able to save everyone else, was by killing him. But trust me, it hurt her, she did not at all enjoy it, and she still feels guilty to this day. However, she is not guilty, she is innocent. Moreover, she's a hero. A hero who took risks and put her life on the line to save a whole faction filled with people.

Think about a literary work that you have recently read. Choose either the feminist or New Historicism critical theory, and explain your interpretation of the plot or character from the work. How does viewing the plot or character through the chosen perspective affect your interpretation of it? Your response should be at least six sentences.

Answer 30

@Aveline

Answer 31

Well, you can talk about the main character's power to start an uprising. You can use this and the feminist theory.

Answer 32

Is the feminist theory about feminism and how girls get treated differently than guys even tho we're all equal? Or am I way off? @Aveline

Answer 33

lol way off

Answer 34

Oh fr? LOLL
Then what is the feminist theory?
