  4. My Father’s Killer Objective: Today I will reflect on what role if any that victims and their families should play in the judicial process, considering both sides of the argument to guide my personal opinion. Reflection 1: Do you believe that victims or their families should have a voice in the punishment selected for crimes that have personally harmed them? Explain. You may use the sentiments shared during our brief class discussion on this topic or simply focus on your own beliefs. Data Gathering: As you watch this documentary, please jot down the argument for and against victim involvement. Reflection 2: How has your previous position been bolstered or shaken by the data you collected throughout the film? http://www.cbsnews.com/videos/my-fathers-killer/

  5. In Cold Blood Objective: Today I will discuss a true crime novel to identify the rhetorical devices that an artist employs to convey his point and purpose. What do you foresee as Capote’s point and purpose? On what syntactical structures does he rely the most heavily? How do these structures interact or support the narrative and realistic nuances of the book? 3. Structurally, what do you notice about his focus? What rhetorical purpose could such juxtaposition have? 4. Discuss the use of Aristotelian Appeals.
