Answer 1

I don’t have the passage—please paste the text or tell me the title and lines you’re working from so I can cite evidence directly. A quick template you can use: (1) state the author’s primary purpose (to inform/persuade/entertain) and why, (2) name 1–2 rhetorical devices the author uses (e.g., imagery, repetition, appeals to ethos/pathos/logos), and (3) quote or paraphrase a specific line as evidence and explain how that device advances the purpose. Once you share the passage I’ll write the 3–5 sentence answer with text-based evidence.
