Why can't I forget the earnest eyes of the man who said to me in Jordan, "Until you speak
Arabic, you will not understand pain"?
Ridiculous, I thought. He went on, something
to do with an Arab carrying sorrow in the
back of the skull that only language cracks. A
few words couldn't do it. A general passive
understanding wasn't enough. At a
neighborhood fair in Texas, somewhere
between the German Oom-pah Sausage Stand
and the Mexican Gorditas booth, I overheard

heritage. Sometimes I feel - so lonely for
one." And the tall American trees were

How does the anecdote, which appeals to pathos,
effectively support Nye's purpose?

readers that the man has an equally valuable
heritage.
o The anecdote makes readers want to enjoy
the delicious ethnic food at the fair, then
reminds them they have their own ethnic
food.
o The anecdote makes readers empathize with
the man from Jordan, in contrast to Nye, who
seekis unable to understand pain.
o The anecdote uses logical evidence, such as
facts and statistics, to explain why heritage is
important

to whom may it may concern;

i have recently ordered a product from your online shop. the shipping details read that my order would be delivered by the 8th of december, whereas it was delivered the 13th. i needed the package for a christmas exchange. 

since i paid for overnight shipping, but did not receive the package in the time allotted, i am kindly asking for a refund. the product was just perfect, but i do not believe i should have to pay for a quick shipping if it came late.

you for your time, i hope to hear from you soon.

sincerely,

john smith

quite an interesting way to teach topic sentences, because the answer to this question is the best definition of a topic sentence that one can present, it is as if answering the questions taught you how to do it, this is some real teaching, it is terribly well-done.

the topic sentence in this paragraph is:

topic sentences writers stay on track and keep a paragraph from becoming an aimless collection of sentences about an idea.

which incidentally tells you what a topic sentence should be.

the civil rights act was passed on april 9, 1866 by a republican dominated congress. it was passed over president johnson's veto, in an effort to push back against discrimination of african americans.
