“The Sacred Calling”-- Guided analysis (12 completion points) – Complete and print your answers to the questions below.  You may reference them on the day of the in-class essay and you will use them during our post-Awakening discussions.

   

  1. What is Rich’s central argument?  Write it in your own words.

   2.      How does Rich begin her chapter?  What is the effect of that beginning, and how does it serve the direction in which she takes her argument?

   3.      In your own words, articulate 3 smaller/supporting ideas or claims of Rich’s from the chapter.  Cite them with page numbers and provide one piece of textual evidence related each claim.

  4.      Which of the following would best describe Rich’s primary rhetorical mode(s), or approach: narration (tells a story); description (imagery, fig language); process analysis (tells how to do something/how something works); causal analysis (tells the cause/effect of an issue).  Explain and describe one specific example from the chapter.

  5.      Summarize one passage that you found especially interesting/important.  Write your summary here and reference which passage it is with a citation.
