Which sentence in this excerpt from mohandas gandhi’s “banaras hindu university speech” is an example of the use of ethos as a persuasive device?
i was present at the sessions of the great congress in the month of december. there was a much vaster audience, and will you believe me when i tell you that the only speeches that touched the huge audience in bombay were the speeches that were delivered in hindustani? in bombay, mind you, not in banaras where everybody speaks hindi. but between the vernaculars of the bombay presidency on the one hand and hindi on the other, no such great dividing line exists as there does between english and the sister language of india; and the congress audience was better able to follow the speakers in hindi. i am hoping that this university will see to it that the youths who come to it will receive their instruction through the medium of their vernaculars. our languages the reflection of ourselves, and if you tell me that our languages are too poor to express the best thought, then say that the sooner we are wiped out of existence the better for us. is there a man who dreams that english can ever become the national language of india? why this handicap on the nation? just consider for one moment what an equal race our lads have to run with every english lad.

the characters especially dave, are frustrated with the inequalities that exist within their life. we

in at least one hundred words, explain how dave’s search for adulthood in “the man who  

was almost a man” reflects the african-american desire to escape the poverty of the south

at the time the story was written.

dave's desire to escape slavery greatly reflects the african-american desire to  

escape oppression and poverty. dave is struggling to declare his identity with the occurence of  

the rural south in his place. throughout the  

story

dave is very irritated because of the way he is  

being treated by whites and how he basically has no freedom. his search for adulthood is exactly

how most african-americans felt and acted during that time. dave also gets so fed up that he  

wants to actually fight back which is how all the other african-americans felt too. desperation is

a major theme in the story as dave is desperate to experience his adulthood, and african-

americans are desperate to escape poverty.

honestly, school in itself just seems to be a huge waste of time. a lot of people graduate but still end up not doing anything in college anyways, which really makes the whole point of graduating seem useless. i'd rather not bring anyone's hopes up then. what i'd recommend is for whoever's reading this to simply drop out.

i mean, kanye did it. he said something along the lines of, "don't let society tell you what to do." now, he's obviously a very successful person, and since his album is called the college dropout i guess he never really had to go through all that nonsense in order to become a millionaire. the same goes for anyone else then.
