a comforting torch that was lighting his way. © Presto Plans Read the paragraph below and find examples of metaphor, simile, onomatopoeia, personification, oxymoron and/or alliteration. James locked up the store and started his walk home. Tonight, as he stepped onto the evil path, he was unusually struck with fear. The harsh, wild winds whistling through the trees sent shivers down his spine. While tonight was really no different than any other, the frightening thoughts continued to be stuck in the prison of his mind. He imagined the living dead crawling out from the ground and ghosts and goblins growling on the winding path. The night, as black as coal, was in stark contrast against the brilliance of his cell phone, a comforting torch that was lighting his way.

Rationalist Recap VS “I think, therefore I am.” Rationalism – the belief that human beings can arrive at truth by using reason, rather than by relying on the authority of the past or religious faith. Unlike the Puritains, Rationalists believed all people were inherently good. Everyone is able to perfect themselves through hard work and charity “I think, therefore I am.” - Descartes, Rationalist Philosopher “I believe so that I might understand.” - Anselm, Puritain Philosopher VS

Puritanism Deism God is active and mysterious. People are inherently sinful without God and the Bible. People arrive at the truth via authority. God created the universe but does not interfere with it. People are basically good and, through reason, perfect-able. People arrive at the truth via reason and logic

Rhetoric Because the Rationalists were all about logic and reason, their literature often took the form of debates, persuasive speeches, and political essays with the goal of using reason to persuade their audience of something Rationalists considered rhetoric (the art of speaking or writing effectively as a way to persuade or influence people) an art form Rationalists used the teachings of Aristotle in their literature to persuade more effectively. Aristotle divided methods of persuasion into three categories: Ethos, Pathos, and Logos

Three Types of Appeals Ethos (Ethics): convincing by the speaker’s character. We tend to believe people whom we respect. Pathos (Emotions): means persuading by appealing to the reader's emotions. Logos (Logic): means persuading by the use of reasoning. Giving reasons is the heart of argumentation.

Rhetorical Devices Rhetorical devices are devices used to manipulate language to effectively persuade an audience. Figurative language such as metaphor and personification are also considered rhetorical devices that can be used to persuade the reader

“Rules to Stop Pupil and Teacher From Getting Too Social Online” With a partner, read the article. Using a highlighter or colored pencil, highlight or underline and label the argumentative appeals used in the article (try to find at least one use of logos, pathos, and ethos) Choose three appeals from the article and write them down (or the first sentence, if they’re long.) Underneath each of your three chosen appeals, write 1-2 sentences explaining if the argument is effective or not. Make sure you explain your reasoning 

Exit Slip In one paragraph, write an opposing argument (one that is for teachers using social media to contact students). Make sure your argument uses Ethos, Pathos, and Logos. Once you’re finished, underline and label the three types of appeals in your paragraph.
