Shоrt Answer (use the spаce belоw). Cоmplete using textuаl evidence аnd adequate detail (two paragraphs are sufficient). Identify (a) the "speaker" in ONE of the following passages below AND (b) the specific rhetorical feature(s) at work in the passage and the work it is from as a whole. (1) “When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one portion of the family of man to assume among the people of a the earth a position different from that which they hitherto occupied, but one to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes that impel them to such a course. We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are the life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” OR (2) “The gratification afforded by this triumph was a full compensation for whatever else might follow, even death itself. He only can understand the deep satisfaction which I experienced, who has himself repelled by force the bloody arm of slavery. I felt as I never felt before. It was a glorious resurrection, from the tomb of slavery, to the heaven of freedom. My long-crushed spirit rose, cowardice departed, bold defiance took its place. . . ."
