Friday 9/23--- WORK!!!

Hi, my LOVES!!

I am not feeling well and am super stressed about my upcoming wedding...before I get so sick that I'm snot-faced and red-eyed at my "I Do's," I am taking today off to rest and sort out the chaos.

Be ULTRA-nice to Ms. Walker, your substitute (as if I have any doubt that you will be).

1. You have a vocabulary quiz that I've made "kind of" easy (by splitting it up into 'chunks'...eww, gross word).
2. After this, you are to read "The Crisis" by Thomas Paine and complete the corresponding study guide, identifying persuasive appeals and basic rhetorical devices.  Here's the deal:

-In each box, you could easily identify 10 different specific instances...give me at least 5 or 6.

BTW, an APHORISM is a saying about life...something you'd find in a fortune cookie...I'll give you one...

Thomas Paine says, "What we gain to cheap, we esteem too lightly"....what does this mean?

FOR PERSUASIVE APPEALS:

In each box, you can either give me concise example from the text, or actually QUOTE the text, including page numbers (for instance, T.Pain tells a story about listening to a guy outside a pub talking about wanting "peace in my day." T.Pain talks about how selfish this guy is because his 8-year old kid is standing right next to him...this is hugely PATHOS and ETHOS...write these instances down!)

FOR RHETORICAL DEVICES:

- Put specific quotations with page numbers...if it's long, throw ellipses (...) in btw. phrases.

YOU CAN DO THIS....it's advanced, because you are SUPER ADVANCED! I wouldn't give you this if I didn't  think you were intelligent enough to handle it :) 

COMMENT OR ASK ON HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS...DON'T JUST NOT DO IT, YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE TO BE CONFUSED!
