They moved into a house that got split up into two and her parents bought one side and the other is still vacant. Coraline was watching a TV commercial and got interested in the birds that hid as leaves and other stuff. But it ended so she went to her mom to ask her if she can do anything, her mom said she didn’t care as long she doesn’t make a mess. So, Coraline asked her dad if she can go outside, but her dad said ask your mom, but Coraline’s mom said no. Then Coraline’s dad suggested that she should take a paper and a pen and count how many blue things, windows, and doors they have. Coraline came across a door that didn't open, so she asked her mom about it and her mom said there was nothing there but a brick wall, and that they covered when the house was split into two. After that Coraline went to bed but heard weird noises and ignored them the first time and then weird noises came by again so she got up and started following the noises. Then she saw a small black thing and hoped it was not a spider because she felt extremely uncomfortable about it. But she still followed and it led her to the drawing room where the door that wouldn’t open had a brick behind it, so after she entered the room it was dark since she didn't turn on the lights. She then turned on the lights and saw nothing but noticed that the door was slightly opened and she could’ve sworn that her mom closed it. She ignored that fact and went back to sleep. (Teehee I know it's long :P pick out what you think is important.

From On Being a Cripple / Nancy Mairs
First, the matter of semantics. I am a cripple. I choose this word to name me. I choose this word to name me. I choose from among several possibilities, the most common of which are "handicapped" and "disabled." I made the choice a number of years ago, without thinking, unaware of my motives for doing so. Even now, I’m not sure what those motives are, but I recognize that they are complex and not entirely flattering. People- crippled or not- wince at the word "cripple," as they do not "handicapped" or "disabled." Perhaps I want them to wince. I want them to see me as a tough customer, one to whom the fates/gods/viruses have not been kind, but who can face the brutal truth of her existence squarely. As a cripple, I swagger.
Answer:
"On Being a Cripple" by Nancy Mairs (1986)
The claim in Nancy's article or short story is, "I am a cripple."
Explanation:
Nancy's claim is the assertion about her physical condition. Nancy does not provide any evidence to support her affirmation. Unfortunately, there is no way for the reader to verify Nancy's reason for describing herself as a "cripple." Her claim remains subjective or a matter of the narrator's personal opinion. Nancy can even claim that her physical condition is a divine blessing.
Many imprecise descriptions are coined by society to label some people. Nancy feels that the truth or bluntness about a person's condition cannot lessen the pain nor denigrate the person. There are humorous meanings to be derived when described as a "cripple" without the use of meaningless metaphors.

As an illustration, if a client is hurt while on a business's premises, the proprietor may be held liable for covering the cost of the client's medical care.

RHETORICAL ANALYSIS: One reason that "Letter from Birmingham Jail" remains one of the best-known texts of the civil rights era is because of the powerful rhetoric that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. uses to advocate for nonviolent resistance to racism. Write a response in which you analyze how King uses characteristics of argumentative texts, such as rhetorical appeals and a convincing con
This question refers to a famous text published by Martin Luther King, which is known as the "Letter From Birmingham Jail." This letter was written in 1963 while King was jailed in Birmingham, Alabama after leading a march of black protesters without a permit.
In this letter, King talks about the role of the civil rights movement, and about what should be expected from it. In order to do so, he employs many types of argumentative appeals and literary devices.
An example of such a rhetorical appeal appears in the following quote:
"I have no fear about the outcome of our struggle in Birmingham, even if our motives are at present misunderstood. We will reach the goal of freedom in Birmingham and all over the nation, because the goal of America is freedom. Abused and scorned though we may be, our destiny is tied up with America's destiny (34)."
In this quote, King argues that the destiny of the United States is necessarily connected with the destiny of black people. He also talks about the place of freedom in America. These references establish pathos, as they make an emotional appeal meant to convince people of the righteousness of his fight.
Another example occurs in the following quote:
"A law is unjust if it is inflicted on a minority that, as a result of being denied the right to vote, had no part in enacting or devising the law. Who can say that the legislature of Alabama which set up that state's segregation laws was democratically elected?"
In this passage, King argues that, as black people did not have the vote, they could not have participated in creating the laws of Alabama. Therefore, they should not be expected to follow them. He employs logos, as he makes a logical argument based on sound premises and evidence.
