    In a foreword to Subhankar Banerjee's book, former President Jimmy Carter makes an argument against allowing drilling and industrial activity in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. In his defence of his position, Carter effectively uses a combination of factual evidence, style, and appeals to emotion to persuade the reader of his ideas. Carter starts the foreword off by describing a time when he went to the Arctic Refuge with his wife, and recounting all of the Refuge's natural beauty, from the "brilliant mosaic" of plant life to the "spectacle" of caribou migration. This use of imagery helps create the feeling that the Arctic Refuge is sacred and beautiful, and therefore deserving of protection; this is a form of emotional appeal; his description of this in the form of a narrative also makes him feel more genuine and relatable.…

    The main focus of this article was on Ali’s career, his determination towards achieving his goals, and his dedication towards Islam. The article spoke about instances where Ali stood up against others to defend his religion, and show his loyalty towards Islam. An example of this could be when Ali refused to be drafted into the Vietnam War, or when he announced he was a Black Muslim and changed his name from Cassius Marcellus Clay to Muhammad Ali. Many people were outraged because of this, but he was not held back by their anger, instead, he was driven by it. It showed that his determination to change the way people viewed his religion was too powerful to let their opinions and thoughts stop him from achieving his goal.…

    Marcus helps the audience understand the different values, knowledge, and backgrounds of ethnicity. In my opinion, we could have avoided the Middle Eastern conflict to begin with by being culturally diverse and acceptable. We must be more accepting to other cultures. Being culturally diverse gives people new ideas and new backgrounds. This book overall was well written because of Marcus’s experiences from being a journalist, but it was a little hard to completely grasp.…
