Essay

A)Discuss any instances of nonargumentative persuasion or pseudoreasoning and explain any slanting techniques you find in the following passage.B)Rewrite the passage in language that is as emotively neutral as possible but still retains the same informational content.
"The U.S.government (that's you and me,by the way)is about to give away a resource that's worth more than any national park or national monument in the land.If the public were to hear that Yosemite or Yellowstone National Park were to be handed over,at no cost,to a major corporation,what do you think would happen? There'd be howls of protest,of course.But an even bigger giveaway is in the works:the awarding of large segments of the broadcast spectrum to the broadcasting systems.They'll be able to turn huge profits from the new resources,and how much comes back to the public? Not one dime.Handouts like this raise the level of corporate welfare to mind-stretching new heights!"
-Letter to a local newspaper
