#2 Discussion:)What examples did you guys use for the rhetorical analysis?

<p>I had nostalgic imagery and diction.</p>

<p>How many examples are we supposd to talk about and what did u AP survivors talk about?</p>

<p>p.s. hope everyone does well (then again the curve...)</p>

<p>I wrote about personal anecdote, literary devices (rhetorical questions, imagery, and metaphor), and anaphora. But I also self-studied this so I’m not sure if these were good examples!</p>

<p>also wrote about the anecdote, imagery, ethos, and logos. not sure how i did because i also had to self-study. wasnt sure how to organize the essay either</p>

<p>anecdote, satire, hyperbole, pathos, logos, imagery</p>

<p>I used alliteration for the “WE” in the last paragraph. Anecdote, Appeal to authority for the led writer’s quote.</p>

<p>i don’t think the “we” was alliteration. it was either repitition or anaphora</p>

<p>I used logos/satire/hyperbole/hypothetical situation/ethos</p>

<p>I used critical syntax (honestly not too sure about that one tbh), personal anecdotes, and parallelism.</p>

<p>Contrast, dependent clauses, humor, and diction.</p>

<p>personal anecdote, logos, ethos, imagery, and apostrophe (incorrectly used :frowning: it’s actually anaphora)</p>

<p>Umm quick question, I used parallel structure as one of mine. Because there was a long sentence that looked like this “the…;the…;the…;the…”</p>

<p>But then I also referenced the “We” sentences. Is that technically not right? I though maybe I could combine the two since the “We” sentences kinda use parallel structure, but I know its more alliteration/repetition.</p>

<p>Qualification, a little bit anecdote, metaphor, parallel syntax for the “we…we…we…” paragraph. I think I should have used anaphora for that one, and should have used apostrophe because his grandchildren weren’t really there. I briefly mentioned something else but I don’t remember right now.</p>

<p>I used rhetorical questions, inferences about future generations, and nostalgic diction, are those okay devices to use? And did we have to used integrated quotes for all the evidence/examples because I did and our AP LANG teacher told us to. And would I get marked down in question 3 if I forgot to use personal experience, that essay seemed so philosophical that I forgot to use personal examples.</p>

<p>What was your guys thesis? Or, if you got the chance to do it again what would be your new thesis? </p>

<p>Also, what else would you have done differently (in regards to adding or taking away)</p>

<p>Why did no one use Descriptions & Quotes/dialects…</p>

<p>is (body1)ethos, (body 2)pathos, and (body 3)anecdote and imagery enough?</p>

<p>@ackattack</p>

<p>Yeah, if you wrote well, then that’s enough. :)</p>

<p>Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think you guys forgot the irony in the repetition of “we” and the resulting contrast in the last paragraph.</p>

<p>Nothing he every says about his generation is about it interacting with nature, just about it being less distracted by the new technology and more “connected” with nature than the current one.</p>

<p>Doing this, he implies that we are already somewhat separated from nature, and that this separation is quickly growing as the generations progress. He never talks about us interacting with nature significantly, only that the children of the future are more distracted from the real world and nature, which his generation was already somewhat.</p>
