I was very concerned by the school board's recent announcement that lunch breaks will be shortened next year. This may seem like a good idea now, but in the long run it will
only hurt students.
The current lunch break gives students a chance to exercise and breathe fresh air. More
importantly, it lets them take a break from their hard work. Shorter lunches don't give
students enough time for a real break. For the sake of all students, contact the school
board today and let them know that breaks matter!
Which best shows that the author's purpose is to persuade readers to speak out against
shorter lunch breaks?
The author asks readers to contact the school board today.
The author tells readers about the contents of a recent announcement.
The author contrasts the current lunch break with shorter lunch breaks.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

while his customary satire is present in mark twain's short story "the notorious jumping frog of calaveras county," there is a cloaking of this satire as twain's narrator is not directly involved. another literary device that you could build a thesis around is the use by twain of hyperbole.

what statement is most clearly an example of logos?

each morning i wrote my name

on the dusty cabinet, then crossed

the dining table in script, scrawled

in capitals on the backs of chairs,

practicing signatures like scales

while mother followed squirting

linseed from a burping can
