In "Let Sleeping Dogs Lie," Goines aims to convey, through satire, that some minor problems are better left undisturbed. He employs figurative language such as irony and mockery to critique the U.S. government's bureaucracy and mocks the military draft system.

By using satire, Goines simplifies a complicated topic, comparing it to a sleeping dog that seems harmless at first but becomes a significant threat when awakened, thereby effectively communicating his point.

C.

The speaker begins by introducing herself, allowing the audience to quickly grasp the personal significance of the topic. When audiences recognize the speaker's personal investment in the matter, they are more likely to engage. The introduction also employs an example of pathos, which is an emotional appeal effective for capturing audience interest. 

It’s beneficial to refrain from overwhelming the audience with statistics or other researchers' names at the start (although such elements will be utilized in the speech) as this may lend an overly formal or factual tone before they become engaged.

Peter. I guess you miss your friends and everything.

Anne. It's not just that... (She pauses, gazing up at him for a moment.) Isn't it amusing, you and I? We’ve been in each other's presence for nearly a year and a half, yet this marks our first real dialogue. Having someone to converse with is really beneficial, wouldn’t you agree? It indeed helps to release pent-up emotions. (continued)

Peter (Approaching the door). Whenever you need to vent, you can always come to my room.

Anne (Following him). I can generate quite a bit of steam. You might want to choose your words carefully.

Peter. I did say it, right?
