from The History of Tom Jones, A Foundling
Latid Having, therefore, determined to commit these boys to the tuition of a private tutor, Mr. Thwackum was recommended to him for that
office, by a very particular friend, of whose understanding Mr. Allworthy had a great opinion, and in whose integrity he placed much confidence.
This Thwackum was fellow of a college, where he almost entirely resided; and had a great reputation for learning, religion, and sobriety of
manners. And these were doubtless the qualifications by which Mr. Allworthy's friend had been induced to recommend him; though indeed this
friend had some obligations to Thwackum's family, who were the most considerable persons in a borcligh which that gentleman represented in
parliament
Thwackum, at his first arrival, was extremely agreeable to Allworthy, and indeed he perfectly answered the character which had been

What is the effect of the irony in the first paragraph?

O 3. It shows the friend's immorality and unreliability as he purposely deceives Mr. Allworthy about Thwackum's deficiencies.
O4 It creates doubt about Thwackum's favorable recommendation by revealing how the friend is indebted to Thwackum's family.

" by sojoumer truth in which three sentences does she make an emotional appeal to the audience by talking about her personal hardships? well, children, where there is so much racket there must be something out of kilter. {i think that 'twixt the negroes of the south and the women at the north, all talking about rights, the white men will be in a fix pretty soon.} but what's all this here talking about? {that man over there says that women need to be into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. nobody ever me into carriages, or over mud puddles, or gives me any best place} and ain't i a woman? look at me! look at my arm! {i have ploughed and planted, and gathered into bars, and no man could head me! } and ain't i a woman? i could work as much and eat as much as a man - when i could get it - and bear the lash as well! and ain't i a woman? {i have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when i cried out with my mother's grief, none but jesus heard me! } and ain't i a woman? {then they talk about this thing in the head, what's this they call it? [member of audience whispers, "intellect") that's it, honey.} what's that got to do with women's rights or negroes' rights? if my cup won't hold but a pint, and yours holds a quart, wouldn't you be mean not to let me have my little half measure full?

Read sentence 13 from the draft. some plants retain a great deal of their foliage through much of the spring and summer, but the leaves do not retain their green color for long. which detail would be best to add after sentence 13 to develop the topic? a. since the green color of the leaves that are bright and abundant during the warmer months will disappear by the time it is fall, it is important that the leaves are trimmed and kept freshly cut so that they will last for as long as possible. b. while the temperature outside may dictate when the fall colors of leaves appear, it is only one of many environmental factors that play a part in the changing of colors from green leaves to fall-colored leaves during the cooler months. c. if people want to enjoy the green color of leaves longer, trees should be planted where the environment is warmer and the days longer because chlorophyll in the leaves can only be manufactured and replaced with sunlight and warmth. d. the green chlorophyll normally masks the fall-colored pigments during the warmer months, but as sunlight becomes less abundant and trees become frozen, the fall colors of leaves become more visible as chlorophyll disappears.
