00:05

long essay writing time The author argues that things that

00:11

are together in our experience become coupled together as ideas

00:16

What evidence if any does the narrator offer to support

00:19

this argument I'm riding to details from the passenger value

00:22

with the others use of evidence All right let's think

00:29

about this The author introduces his argument using the word

00:33

horse as an example and refers towards he associates with

00:36

horse to support the argument he discusses how horse suggested

00:40

bridal saddle in other words when he did the experiment

00:43

himself The author also says that horse can be connected

00:46

with any other idea such as whistle or shoulder Depending
