  4. Review from the last week • Rhetoric is a manner of speech to influence the reader • Ethos: trustworthiness • Pathos: emotion • Logos: logic • Any questions about Raider Writer? Or St. Martin’s Handbook?

  5. Page 4 of First Year Writing (hereafter FYW): Reading rhetorically means… 1)To read with attention how your purposes for reading may or may not match an author’s purposes for writing 2) To recognize the methods that authors use to try to accomplish their purposes. Well, what does it mean? Reading rhetorically?

  6. What question does the text address, explicitly or implicitly? • Who is the intended audience? • How does the author support his or her thesis with reasons and evidence? • How does the author hook the intended reader’s interest and keep the reader reading? • How does the author make himself or herself seem credible to the intended audience? • How do I respond to this text? From the 8 questions in First-Year Writing

  7. Summary & Paraphrase

  8. Summary includes… • A concise articulation of the main idea(s) of articles: i.e. some repeated concepts. • Authors’ purpose • Intended audiences. • Why do we need to summarize when you write a rhetorical analysis paper? What is summary?

  9. How to determine intended audience/purpose? • Obama That I Used To Know (a parody of Someone That I Used To Know by Gotye: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJnAp3YxCCw • The Star Wars That I Used to Know: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJlbPXZEpRE&feature=kp • 'We Are Never Ever Gonna Cook Together‘: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5y_Kd9ZoA6Q Audience&purpose

  10. In a dystopian future, the totalitarian nation of Panem is divided between 12 districts and the Capitol. Each year two young representatives from each district are selected by lottery to participate in The Hunger Games. Part entertainment, part brutal retribution for a past rebellion, the televised games are broadcast throughout Panem. The 24 participants are forced to eliminate their competitors while the citizens of Panem are required to watch. When 16-year-old Katniss's young sister, Prim, is selected as District 12's female representative, Katniss volunteers to take her place. She and her male counterpart Peeta, are pitted against bigger, stronger representatives, some of whom have trained for this their whole lives. Summary examples The Hunger Games (2012)

  11. Paraphrase is… • Restatement of an original text in YOUR OWN WORDS. • It often concerns a particular passage or action (see the difference from summary) • Do not change words sporadically (it is not a paraphrase!). Paraphrase
