Describe the tone of douglass speech how does his tone contribute to the appeal that he makes using ethos and pathos

The tone of the Douglas’ speech “What to a slave is the 4th of July” is one of admonition. Douglas shows that the values the US is built on and which are celebrated on the 4th of July are an offense to and ridicule of the slave population in the United States which did not have neither liberty, freedom or even citizenship in the US.

This tone is effective in using pathos as it shows logically that there is a problem with slavery and that slavery directly goes against the values of the United States.

The admonition tone is also used in ethos as it tugs the heart string of the listener. The use of the Biblical language and imagery also reinforces this effect. He also  uses the patriotism of his listeners as he praises the Founding Fathers and the creation of the nation.

i have read the novel roll of thunder hear my cry by mildred d. taylor.

1. this isn't like any other story i've read or watched because it is about a black family in mississippi right after slavery in the u.s. had become illegal. most of the novels i have read were about slavery. another point is that the author of the novel used symbolism in a way i haven't seen before. for example she uses thunder as something negative meaning something bad will happen. but by the end of the novel, she made thunder a good thing.

2.   one character that changed during the novel was stacey. stacey is the eldest child of the black logan family. around the begging of the novel stacey was avoiding the white boy jeremy simms. he had a dislike for jeremy's family. but at the end of the novel stacey began to like jeremy.

3. the author starts the novel with the problem that the children of the logan family have to avoid the white kid school bus while walking to school.
