  2. SOAPSTone Look at Chapter 1 examples, and briefly discuss how SOAPSTone applies to these different ways of talking about Princess Di.

  3. Subject What is the subject of Emma? Of The Great Divorce? Of The Shallows? Theme: “message that an imaginitive work is designed to convey and make persuasive to a reader” Thesis Statement: “The main point or purpose of a persuasive text; what the writer is trying to persuade readers to see,believe or do.”

  4. Occasion Occasion may be thought of as the particular social or cultural contextwhich leads a writer to choose his or her particular theme or thesis. What is the occasion of Emma? Of The Great Divorce? Of The Shallows?

  5. Audience Who are the primary intended readers of this text? Who are the secondary readers? (It might help to think of who is NOT the intended audience for this text…) How does audience shape / effect a writer’s choices?

  6. Purpose To entertain? To inform? To persuade? Are these mutually exclusive? How do they relate to and support one another in the texts you have read? How can you be more entertaining, informative, and persuasive in YOUR writing?

  7. Style High (very formal) Medium Low (very casual) How would you characterize the level of formality of each author you have read this summer? Explain how at least one writer’s style is a product of the previous factors (subject, occasion, audience, purpose).

  8. Tone In your own life, what tones work best for you? Serious? Funny? Angry? Reflective? Reverent? Ironic? Which does a writer choose, and why?

  9. End Slides.
