It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. gentlemen may cry, peace, peace - but
there is no peace. the war is actually begun. the next gale that sweeps from the
north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! our brethren are already
in the field! why stand we here idle? what is it that gentlemen wish? what would
they have? is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of
chains and slavery? forbid it, almighty god! i know not what course others may
take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!

The major was a little man with upturned mustaches. he had been in the war in libya and wore two wound-stripes. he said that if the thing went well he would see that i was decorated. i said i hoped it would go well but that he was too kind. i asked him if there was a big dugout where the drivers could stay and he sent a soldier to show me. i went with him and found the dugout, which was very good. the drivers were with it and i left them there. what effect does hemingway’s limited use of adjectives have? it slows down the narration by interrupting the action. it makes the few descriptive words he does use more vivid and forceful. it makes the narrator seem powerless and insincere. it prevents the readers from filling in the details with their own experiences.

Read this excerpt from rudolfo anaya’s essay “take the tortillas out of your poetry.”tortillas and poetry. they go hand in hand. books nourish the spirit, bread nourishes our bodies. our distinct cultures nourish each one of us, and as we know more and more about the art and literature of the different cultures, we become freer and freer. . i don’t know anyone who doesn’t like to sample different ethnic foods, the breads of many many groups; just as many of us enjoy sampling books from different areas of the world. i travel to foreign countries, and i know more about myself as i learn more about my fellow human beings. censorship imposes itself in my path of knowledge, and that activity can be justified by no one.which of these changes would make this excerpt more argumentative? using words that affect the audience’s sense of trustusing less repetition of certain words and phrasesincluding words that address logic and reasonincluding words that are charged with emotion
