Which technique contributes most to the
suspense created in this poem?
the fact that the poem takes place
in december
the speaker's indignant response to
having been woken up
the name of the dead woman being
said several times
the repetition of the tapping from an
unknown source

from the political point of view it could be said that the candidate   is an effective speaker because she takes a strong position on the issue. it is an open discussion but probably she is making a presentation and can choose which subjects she wants to address. she is very likely to attain her aim which is to convince voters to accept her proposal.

i would say that it is a bad thesis because it doesn't explain what the health risks are. it seems to be a very vague thesis statement. thesis statements need to set up for the entire essay. it needs to give the reasons why people need to stop drinking diet soda.   so, i would say that it is a bad thesis.

hope this

nevermind, i'm sorry i thought you meant stock market oops
