Read the paragraphs from "The Limits of Empathy" Think of anybody you admire. They probably have some talent for fellow feeling, but it is overshadowed by their sense of obligation to some religious, military, social or philosophic code. They would feel a sense of shame or guilt if they didn't live up to the code The code tells them when they deserve public admiration or dishonor The code helps them evaluate other people's feelings, not just share them. The code tells them that an adulterer or a drug dealer may feel ecstatic, but the proper response is still contempt. The code isn't just a set of rules. It's a source of identity It's pursued with joy It arouses the strongest emotions and attachments. Empathy is a sideshow If you want to make the world a better place, help people debate, understand, reform, revere and enad their codes Accept that codes conflict How does the author's use of a rhetorical technique advance his perspective on the topic? The Limits of Empathy The author repeats words and phrases to show he thinks empathy is a useless feeling The author uses hyperbole to show he does not believe lack of empathy is a big problem, The author uses examples of situations in which you can feel empathy to show he believes most people are empathetic The author uses personification to show he feels codes are importanti​

21 balloons is the story of professor william sherman's travels.

in 1883, he set off from san francisco for a balloon ride over the pacific and was found a month later floating with 21 balloons in the atlantic ocean. this seemed an astounding feat and everyone wanted to know what had happened.    

professor sherman was loyal, however, and said he would tell his tale first to the western american explorers club in san francisco, of which he was a member. this built up suspense for several chapters before he began to tell of the wonders of his adventures and the amazing island of krakatoa, an island which had just been blown up by a volcano.  

the residents of krakatoa are all millionaires who live under a "gourmet government" of their own devising. we get to see all the incredible adventures that creative people with unlimited resources would create according to the author.

in the secret life of walter mitty, the main character leads a dull life, or so he thinks.in all his daydreams he plays the role of some hero or a man who is unbelievably resourceful.whether a pilot, a surgeon   or even a criminal, he is better, so much better than all the rest of the characters in his delusions.he comes up with ideas nobody else could have conceived .when he comes back to reality, whatever he has to deal with seems silly, boring without any motivation to deliver.

in a sound of thunder a hunter,eckles, wants to use a time machine to go back in time to catch a tyrannosaurus rex. by then, 2055 elections were go held and a   new hitler was beaten by a far better candidate, keith.once he and other men have traveled,   he gets cold feet. he in   some way has known   this is not a good idea.he hears this sound , too strong for him to put up with . hopeless, he abandons the project making a mistake - another one as the first is to travel in time-that causes a butterfly effect when he comes back. in the end , changes reality for worse; the anti human anti christ deutscher,   is the president.
