Exercise 4- CRCB

Speeding- reading means to group words together for faster reading. This method is more visual and to the point. On the other hand, critical reading consists on taking your time and analyze in detail the information you are reading. Critical reading means thinking, and speed reading is to rush and finish. Therefore these two methods are conflicting activities.

Inferences

No reasonable man can for one moment believe that such a beautiful country [America] was intended by its Author [God] to be forever in the possession and occupancy of serpents, wild fowls, wild beats and savages who derive little benefit from it. (Caleb Atwater, 1850)

1. No man in their right man can imagine that this country, which was intended for the good people to be in hands of the evil who don't deserve it.

It's reasoning is an inference because he uses a lot of detail to describe the evil who are living in this country.

2. The conclusion implied is that the evil people are taking over and don't deserve to live in this country.

3. The evidence offered in support of the the claim is the example and detail he gives to describe “ugly”.

4. The claim justifies the author's values by expressing how he feels about the people who live in this country.

5. Lies bring nothing but tears, pain and a guilty conscience. It's like a stab in the back, an open wound, which never heals. The worst imaginable thing.
