For Friday, you will be completing a chart on what will turn into your next full paper which will analyze how revolutionary era authors (Henry, Jefferson, Paine) used various devices to persuade their audience to separate from the English. The chart format is available here, but you can complete this by hand if you choose. All of these documents are available in your red book. Devices can include, but are not limited to:
Appeals to logos, pathos, ethos
Sub appeals: religion, fear, authority, fact, etc.
Rhetorical fallacies
Diction
Imagery
Appeal to anecdote (haven't talked about it yet)
Periodic Syntax
Parallel Structure
Allusion
Epanorthosis
Important Note: We have not had a chance to discuss Paine yet, so we will work with him in class on Thursday. Therefore, I recommend that you make progress on outlining Henry and Jefferson tonight, so that you can fill in the Paine part of the chart after Thursday's class.
