Questions (evaluative and interpretive)




3. (65%)       Similarity of the grammatical structure in a pair or series of related words, phrases, or clauses. Let Every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.

9. (70%)    Opposition, or contrast, of ideas or words in a parallel construction.  We shall support any friend, oppose any foe.

13-15 Instructions
The following three questions address ethos, pathos and logos. Read the following passage. It has been broken into three parts – A, B, C – each appealing primarily to either ethos, pathos or logos. Answer the following questions by selecting the part of the passage which best applies and circling in the corresponding letter, A, B, or C on your answer sheet.

A)  To those people in the huts and villages of half the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, B) we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required -- not because the Communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right. C) If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.

13.       In which part of the passage does Kennedy most directly appeal to the shared ethics/moral sense (ethos) of the audience by stressing the United States actions will be guided by our morals?

14.       In which part of the passage does Kennedy most directly appeal to logical reasoning (logos), one which stresses that certain things must be done if a certain result is expected?


IF you got these wrong, you may gain points by handing in the following:


- A copy of your grade slip

- A sheet of paper which indicates which clearly indicates your name, the name of the class and period, the date and numbers for the questions you missed and for which you are submitting evidence of learning (e.g., 4 and 13)
- If you missed question 3 and/or 9, you will write an original sentence which uses the rhetorical strategy you missed
-You will also include an explanation of why that sentence is a good example of that rhetorical term. In essence, you will be doing a rhetorical analysis/explanation of your sentence.  

If you missed 13 and/or 14, revisit the passage, select the right answer, and briefly explain why that appeal most directly applies.

Please clearly number and label all of your answers. 


HW: Read and annotate (for main idea and supporting details/points) the following sections "Puritanism", "Nathaniel Hawthorne" and "Manifest Destiney"
