Public Voices, Private Lives Most of us recognize and live with the difference between our public self and our private self. Sometimes, however, those selves – with all their convictions, passions, and values – come into conflict. Then, we must make a choice. Which self will triumph and which self must be sacrificed? Can we find a compromise? These choices are sometimes simply matters of avoiding embarrassment or preventing hurt feelings or confessing dishonesty. Sometimes they are matters of life and death. How do people resolve these conflicts between public and private? What situations challenge their honesty and integrity? How can people slip into hypocrisy or conflicts of interest? January 27

Salem Witch Trial Complete Viewing Guide as you watch

When is it time to take action? We are faced with decisions every day. Whether it's the winning shot in the final seconds of the game, the right moment to ask someone out, the decision to apply for a job, or ask for a something you want – timing is everything. Our decisions shape our lives. Some decisions have a bigger impact than others. When have you been faced with a big decision? What did you decide? Did you take action or did you leave it to fate? Why? February 4

Agenda  Finish viewing of Salem Witch Trial Documentary to compare how authors portray the same event  Persuasive Rhetoric Notes  Read Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God – pg124  Complete Text Analysis of Emotional Appeals and Persuasion  Write persuasive speech  Homework due Thursday: Complete Act I study guide to determine what the text says explicitly

Deductive vs Inductive Deductive = top-down If the premise is true, the conclusion is true. General to specific All humans will die. I am human. I will die. Inductive = bottom-up Specific to general My wife and her mom are nags. All women are nags.

Deductive vs. inductive I am having a good year. This is a lucky year. All dogs have a good sense. Spot is a dog. Spot has a good sense of smell. It is dangerous to drive in the snow. It is snowing right now. It is dangerous to drive now. Every 3 year old you know whines. All 3 year olds whine.

Persuasive Techniques Ethos: ethical, moral – use values or moral standards Logos: logical – rely on reason and facts Pathos: emotional – elicit strong feelings Examples: How can you look at the sad faces of separated families and not decide to help them. You should consider the immigration argument and decide what is the right thing to do. Statistics show that 1 out of every 6 people in North Carolina has relatives or friends involved in the immigration issue.

Rhetorical Devices Analogy – a comparison between two dissimilar things to explain an unfamiliar subject in terms of a familiar one Ex: A gang of boys is like a pack of wolves. Antithesis – the expression of contrasting ideas in parallel grammatical form Ex: Give me liberty, or give me death Repetition – the repeated use of a word or a phrase for emphasis Ex: Let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come! Parallelism – form of repetition in which grammatical pattern is repeated Ex: I have a dream. Rhetorical question – a question to which no answer is expected Allusions – references to figures, events, or places in the Bible

Basics of an argument Claim – clear statement of a position on an issue Support – reasons and evidence to support claim Counterarguments – statements that anticipate and refute opposing views Logic and Language Conclusion – sums up the reasons or the call for action

Pg 124 Pay attention to the emotional language Edwards uses to persuade his congregation to believe deeply in a vengeful God How would you describe Edwards’ view of the following? God Christ Humanity

The art often dealt with death, transience and mankind’s feelings about these things. The artist was an extremely individualistic creator whose creative spirit was more important than strict adherence to formal rules and traditional procedures. Remember the Romantic period has nothing to do with love! It is a literary movement that has nothing to do with being in love!
