Marc Anthony's Speech - Analysis in Two Parts - Due 12/04 (B) and 12/05 (A)

Marc Anthony's Speech - Analysis in Two Parts

Part One: Here is Marc Anthony's Complete Speech CLICK

1. Completely annotate Marc Anthony's speech for Logos, Pathos, and Ethos (yellow, pink, green)

2. Complete the LPE Chart from your handout.  REMEMBER, you must always connect device to meaning, so your sample answers should integrate your analysis with effective quotes as support. 

For instance:

Ethos	Logos	Pathos
1. Marc Anthony first establishes his credibility with the audience by addressing them as “Friends, Romans, and Countrymen.” His purpose is to suggest that he is not only their friend, but also that he is their friend.

 

Part Two:

1.Using your Rhetorical Terms handout as a guide identify ALL the devices  Marc Anthony uses to make his argument. Please work through the entire speech with your partners. As you identify the device (like parallelism) remember to say what effect it has/is supposed to have on the audience. Please use the COMPLETE Marc Anthony speech handout for this activity. (annotate LPE starting with 1664 as you have already completed the prior section). If you run out of space, use binder paper.

2. As you annotate the text, highlight and underline using the following pattern. 

 

Logos - yellow highlighter      Pathos - pink highlighter    Ethos - green highlighter

 

Antithesis - Black pen underline     Irony - Red underline    Sarcasm - double red underline    

 

Rhetorical Questions -  red RQ and [red brackets]

 

Repetition -  Double black underline

 

Personification, Simile, Metaphor, Hyperbole, Understatement - Write 1st initial and blue highlight text

 

Paradox -  Blue underline

Animal Farm Reading - Chapters 5 and 6 Due 10/9 (B) and 10/10 (A)

Animal Farm - Read Chapter 5 and 6

Homework: Orwell’s characters use language to communicate hidden meanings. Sometimes Orwell hints that language should be carefully questioned, other times it’s up to the reader to notice.

Directions: As you read Chapters V through VII, complete the table by filling in some examples of manipulative communication. Then state what you think the language really means. Use as many boxes as you need (you should have at least 4 per chapter). You may paraphrase the passages from the text, but you must cite the text by chapter and page number

The Words	What they really mean
" In the future, all questions relating to the working of the farm would be settled by a special committee of pigs presided over by himself." (CH 5, p.21).	Napoleon is going to make all the decisions.
“No one believes more firmly than Comrade Napolean that all animals are equal. He would be only too happy to let you make decisions for yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where would you all be?”(CH 5, p. 21)

PreAP English 2 8th period

Assignment:

In "What We Want," (The New York Review of Books, Vol. 7 (September 22, 1966), pp. 5-6, 8.) Stokely Carmichael wrote: 

 

"For racism to die, a totally different America must be born."  

 

and    

 

"The reality is that this nation, from top to bottom, is racist; that racism is not primarily a problem of ''human relations" but of an exploitation maintained, either actively or through silence, by the society as a whole." 

 

Think carefully about these quotes and  about what you think Carmichael is saying about America and Americans, then choose one to either defend or argue against in a one page response. You are encouraged to use your own experiences to support your answer because your experiences are valid data for writing.
