Then the next paragraphs go into the history of their companies.

His letter is full of sarcasm and big-headed-ness. This gives humor for the reader, but his audience, Mr. Herbert, is most likely not amused.

A lot of the speech's audience is educated, so to think that a child is not given the same opportunity makes the reader have some sympathy and want to help.

She's showing her reader that this educated child has learned to go against what the terrorists want. The Taliban's beliefs are not among the religions of peace and love because those religions believe in education.

She does this to show emotion and care for her people, making the speech more personal.

By this, she is joining everyone together for a sense of unity and stating that everyone is dealing with this difficulty in their own way. This is comforting to the audience (Britons).

It also shows that he is well educated (no hyphen ;) and therefore affirms that this whole speech is well written. The purpose of this paragraph is to show cold, hard facts that also tug at heartstrings, and that's highly persuasive.

This whole paragraph really tugs on your emotions because of the adjectives like "violence" and "savagery." And as Arthur argues, this is because of the lack of order in the society.

He's showing his credibility by relating himself and taking fault. Sat, 04 Apr 2020 00:57:01 -0400
