So I kept this kind of “care vibe” throughout but I wanted to make it funny. Also, I expressed how it is known how he is liar.

One of them, in particular, getting a lot of attention: Crystal Gail Mangum an African-American exotic dancer.

    In “When We Can’t Wait on Truth,” Nathan Crick claims that scientific texts are written with rhetoric embedded in them. Crick obtains this claim through the rhetorical element of ethos and narratives. Both the rhetorical element of ethos and narratives help obtain Cricks claim which is directed towards the audience of the scientific and English fields.
