How does David Crystal win over so much logic and emotion from his audience? Do the rhetorical tools that Crystal uses aid in his overall success of the argument? Crystal is the author of many books on language such as “The Gr8 Db8” which discusses text language and its impact on society. The author’s undermined approach is shown through historical context, statistics and pathos to effectively reveal the mass spread of English, and the potential impact it will have on the world. Crystal connects with the audience to make them realize that something as simple as the language we speak, could have more of an impact on the world than ever imaginable.

The number one of Wolsey domestic policies was the king’s finances/the economy because King Henry was a very athletic person and loved going to war and because of this Wolsey had to raise masses amount of money. In this area Wolsey had some successes especially one called the subsidy in reality this was Wolsey's greatest achievement because, he was the royal almoner he planned out and organized king Henry's war in France very well, he raised lots of money for the war by replacing the fixed tax of fifteenths and tenths which required those who earned very very small money to pay like the rich people did, this new tax was more fair for the rich people, by making a more efficient tax system this enabled Wolsey to raise a lot of money for the king, making over
Considering the research that was conducted, as well as Colvin’s own observations, he has come to the conclusion that greatness is available to everyone. He states that “Scientific experts are producing remarkably consistent findings across a wide array of fields” which is what leads him to believe that the research being done is accurate, proving his philosophy to be true.

In the article Colvin also states that a critical factor in becoming great in nearly any field would be deliberate practice. But what is deliberate practice?
Assess the achievements and impact of Tiberius as princeps Suetonius states that ‘it is my belief that Augustus scale’ weighed Tiberius good qualities against the bad and decided that the good tipped the scale’.

Therefore, it can be stated that Tiberius, despite given power with reluctance, continued to build Rome to new a level of greatness.
