In other cases, the censoring has been direct and brutal. on february 28, 1981 the morning newspaper carried a story about the burning of my novel, bless me, ultima. the book was banned from high school classes in bloomfield, new mexico, and a school board member was quoted as saying: “we took the books out and personally saw that they were burned.” which best describes the rhetorical appeal used to illustrate the destructive nature of censorship? factual evidence is used to appeal to the reader’s sense of logic a painful event is described to appeal to the reader’s sympathy the author’s novel is referenced to appeal to his credibility as a writer a strong opinion is presented to appeal to the reader’s anger

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
