Final answer:

Comparison and contrast are rhetorical methods used in writing to analyze two subjects by highlighting their similarities and differences. This strategy employs phrases of comparison or contrast to guide the reader through the analysis and is especially useful for redefining terms or concepts. It's a common method used in high school level English writing, speeches, and essays.

Explanation:

Comparison and Contrast in Writing

When structuring your speech or document, using a comparison/contrast speech pattern involves comparing and contrasting two similar objects, topics, or ideas. This method can be used to show the similarities (comparison) or the differences (contrast) between the two subjects, which can help clarify concepts or extend definitions. It is often used in essays and speeches to help the audience understand the nature of the subjects by relating them to each other.

To effectively use this method in writing, you may utilize phrases of comparison or phrases of contrast to signal to the readers or listeners how the two subjects are being analyzed. This rhetorical strategy is particularly beneficial when you need your audience to grasp what something is and what it is not, as in the case of redefining a term or idea.

For instance, you might be comparing drug addiction to diseases like AIDS or cancer to argue that addiction should be viewed as a medical issue rather than a criminal justice issue. Alternatively, to establish contrast, you could highlight the differences between addiction and other illnesses to argue against this view. Words like 'by contrast,' 'in comparison,' and 'while,' among others, can be essential tools in establishing your point.

To achieve a well-organized compare-and-contrast essay, you may opt for a two-point structure that focuses directly on comparing and contrasting, or you could introduce a third point that offers background information on the subjects before delving into the comparison and contrast.

WHAT IS THE ARGUMENT???

Answer:

it makes them seem more in depth

Explanation:

The correct option is: It shows that Adam is afraid of what is in the water, and Laura is fearless and likes to tease him.

In the excerpt, the paragraph develops the characters through their actions and dialogue. Adam's hesitation and fear of the crabs in the tidal pool contrast with Laura's fearless and adventurous nature.

Adam's reaction of wincing and nearly screaming when Laura scoops up a crab shows his apprehension, while Laura's teasing response and casual handling of the crab highlight her bold and daring personality. This interaction between the characters reveals their contrasting traits and sets the stage for potential character development and dynamics throughout the narrative.

The paragraph effectively develops the characters by illustrating Adam's fear and Laura's fearlessness through their reactions and dialogue in the situation with the crabs. This contrast in their personalities creates tension and sets the tone for their relationship and interactions in the narrative.

Answer:

forshadoing

Explanation:

it telles you whats going on

Note to Cynatory:

There are many themes in Julius Caesar (e.g. betrayal, ambition, honor, love) and chances are you might violate academic integrity if I write this for you and you submit it as your own work.

So, tell you what -- I've chosen deceit as my theme but I'm going to answer this question in such a way where you will have to do some work on your own such as, giving more textual support and adding your own POV so it's authentic.

Does that sound good? Okay. Let's do this.

In William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, countless occasions of deception have arisen primarily due to Brutus.

Brutus was a deceitful,  murderous apostate who betrayed his country, his morals, his friend, and his king; his violent actions took more lives than Caesar ever could.  

Brutus was the original, Judas Iscariot; he was a deceitful follower of Caesar who sold his king for nearly thirty, excruciating stab wounds. However, Brutus claimed to be Caesar’s faithful friend and disciple – he insisted that Rome always had his loyalty.  

Brutus was a soft-spoken, yet troubled soul. He is applauded for his empathy and loyalty to morality and to his countrymen. In fact, when Cassius had raised the proposition to kill Antony along with Caesar, Brutus answered as such:  

“Let us be sacrificers, but not butchers, Caius.”  

However, this is not out of character for Brutus. He craftily schemed Caesar’s demise while putting on a carefully fabricated façade. Even then, Caesar valued him and referred to him many times as “friend” throughout his final days.  

Caesar voices, “Good friends, go in, and taste some wine with me; And we, like friends, will straightway go together.”  

Brutus, like Judas at the Passover, also went, reclined and drank wine with his lord, fully knowing that he’d take part in the death of his liege.  

Although there is truth in Brutus’s guise, it is far cry from what he truly felt.  His speech after Caesar’s death was a beautiful eulogy that spoke from the heart. He poses this thoughtful question his fellow countrymen:  

“Had you rather Caesar were living and die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live all free men?”  

Brutus adored Caesar, but he loved Rome more. His duty was not to man, but to mankind.  Nevertheless, Judas claimed to love Christ too. Where do Judas and Christ stand now?  

Brutus states:  

“Our course will seem too bloody, Caius Cassius.”  

Brutus acknowledged that that his actions were bloody. His statement also implies that if it didn’t “seem” to bloody, then killing Antony could have been justifiable also.  

Brutus, one of the twelve major figures in Julius Caesar, was not a deceiver.  

“Shall Rome stand under one man's awe? What, Rome?”  

Brutus’s statement is laced with contempt. Rather than saying, “Rome should, as a people…” he singles out Caesar and undermines his figure. He says “one man” seeking to portray Caesar as a weak leader rather than appealing to his audience by promoting a “we the people” stance.  

He attempts to trick his audience into believing that Caesar is inept. After all, the art of pleasing is the art of deceiving, is it not?

This was my speech:

Julius Ceasar was a book filled with greed, corruption, and ambition.  But the biggest theme of the whole book was power.  Ceasar had so much power and was going to turn the city into becoming a dictatorship.  His friends decided to kill him so he wouldn't ruin the city.

As you can see from these examples in the book Cassius says:

" CASSIUS

Why, he that cuts off twenty years of life

Cuts off so many years of fearing death.

BRUTUS

Grant that, and then is death a benefit.

So are we Caesar's friends, that have abridged

His time of fearing death. Stoop, Romans, stoop,

And let us bathe our hands in Caesar's blood

Up to the elbows, and besmear our swords."  This means that after stabbing Caesar in the back, Cassius and Brutus reason that they've done their pal a favor: now that Caesar's death, he no longer has to worry about dying. Then Brutus has another good idea – the conspirators should wash their hands in their friend's blood to signal that they've freed Rome from tyranny.

 In conclusion, this story relates to real-life because many people have a way to much power and need to be put to an end.  The only difference is that you could just kill them in the book but in real life that's not exactly an option.

Answer:

Lifeboat ethics is a metaphor for resource distribution proposed by the ecologist Garrett Hardin in 1974.

Hardin's metaphor describes a lifeboat bearing 50 people, with room for ten more. The lifeboat is in an ocean surrounded by a hundred swimmers. The "ethics" of the situation stem from the dilemma of whether (and under what circumstances) swimmers should be taken aboard the lifeboat.

Hardin compared the lifeboat metaphor to the Spaceship Earth model of resource distribution, which he criticizes by asserting that a spaceship would be directed by a single leader – a captain – which the Earth lacks. Hardin asserts that the spaceship model leads to the tragedy of the commons. In contrast, the lifeboat metaphor presents individual lifeboats as rich nations and the swimmers as poor nations.

Explanation:

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifeboat_ethics

Answer:

  Lifeboat ethics is a metaphor about how Garret Hardin thinks the richest countries should behave towards the poor nation.

Explanation:

  Garret Hardin was an American ecologist who warned the dangers of human overpopulation. He criticized the model of resource distribution model called Spaceship Earth because that would lead to what he called "Tragedy of the Commons". That is a situation where individual users acting on their own self-interest behave contrary to the common good of all users.

  In response to that model, he developed the lifeboat ethics. It describes a lifeboat bearing 50 people and with room for ten more in the middle of the ocean. But the lifeboat is surrounded by 100 swimmers. The problem radicates on what swimmers should be taken abroad.

Answer: The right answer is the D) Flavius hopes that he has changed the high spirits of the people in the streets and sends them away before Caesar sees them. He instructs Marullus to go toward the capitol, while he himself goes the other way to take down any images of Caesar or decorations on his statues. Marullus wants to know if that is OK, because everyone is celebrating the feast of Lupercal. Flavius does not care, and he tells Marullus to do as he says and send the crowds home.

Explanation: When you paraphrase a text, you express its meaning using different words, in order to render it clearly and succinctly, so option A should be discarded. Likewise, in this excerpt Flavius and Marullus are not discussing who should clear the streets, so option B should be also discarded. Option C is accurate, but too brief; it acts more like a summary. In this passage Flavius is indeed congratulating himself for having convinced the commoners to go home instead of being outdoors celebrating Caesar's triumph, and he is instructing Marullus to remove images or decorations honoring Caesar, despite Marullus's reluctance —since it is the feast of Lupercal— as well as to continue forcing people off the streets.

A paradox is the literary device of the phrase “never say never”. A paradox is a contradictory phrase. This means that it does exactly what it says it should not do. In the phrase "never say never", the paradox occurs because the phrase is using "never" to tell you not to say it. Therefore, it is contradicting itself.

Paradoxes can be confusing because that is exactly what they are - confusing! They make a statement that seems ridiculous but actually can reveal a probable truth. Things can also be described as a paradox using the adjective form: paradoxical.

One of the famous literary paradoxes can be found in Shakespeare's Hamlet. Hamlet says that he must be "cruel to be kind". In this paradox, Hamlet is contradicting himself because cruel and kind are opposites; and yet, he must do one to accomplish the other.

It is important to note here that paradoxes are not just a literary device. When referred to as a literary device, they are specifically about what is written in a text. However, the word paradox can also refer to events that are contradictory when speaking of a situation that is seemingly impossible to scientifically explain.

In this passage, Whitman is celebrating how the death and life of his self and his body are interconnected with the natural world.

Explanation:

When we die, the physical substance of the body—literally the molecules of the flesh—rot away to become once again a part of the natural world. But the same thing is true when we are living. We breathe in the molecules of the air, which become a part of us, even as they began as a part of other things. "Song of Myself" is all about these kinds of transcendent connections. Whitman is celebrating his "self" ("I celebrate myself, and sing myself"), but he's doing so by acknowledging the ways his self relies on the forces and energies and bodies of the natural and human worlds around him.

The correct answer is B. Create a dramatic sound mix to present the sounds to the audience

Explanation:

In short stories and other literary works, authors rely mainly on written descriptions, dialogues or monologues to present elements such as characters, settings, actions, etc. However, when these literary works are adapted into films, descriptions are not used as the use of a narrator is not common in films, instead filmmakers rely on actions of characters and show elements instead of describing them. This means, in the case of a short story set in a forest, the best for adapting this is to let the audience hear the sounds of the forest instead of describing them and thus, the correct answer is "create a dramatic sound mix to present the sounds to the audience".
