2 English 104 Group Presentation Evaluation First Essay Assignment Name Jane Diligent Joe Sloth Ben Brain Task Research topic Work on content Work on content Rank (1 5) Comments conscientious Missed most meetings Good organizer, great ideas An author who writes for social change must consider not only the message that they wish to communicate, but also the audience to whom the message is directed, the form the message will take and the style in which the message will be rendered. Considering either Three Guineas or On the Duty of Civil Disobedience, make an argument as to whether you think Virginia Woolf or Henry David Thoreau made a successful case or not. Some questions that you may wish to consider as you formulate your argument are: did the author convince you of their perspective? Do you think that they would have convinced their audience at the time of writing? Why or why not? Jonathan Swift b Dublin, Ireland d Known as propagandist Devoted to the Establishment (the Church of England and the Monarchy) Writes simply and clearly in order to develop understanding in audience Use of irony, satire Known for Gulliver s Travels 2

5 Some Important Literary Terms Proper words in proper places, make the true definition of a style (Swift, Letter 9 January 1720) Irony Verbal irony - where what is said is the opposite of what is meant; contrasts reality with appearances; provides commentary, may be used to mock or scorn, to draw attention to inequities or hypocrisies Situational irony, in which events that occur are very different from what is expected Parody imitation with the intention to ridicule Satire censure or ridicule deviations from a norm; often mingles laughter and anger; utilizes irony and wit Satire is a glass wherein beholders do generally discover everybody s face but their own, which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it (Swift, The Battle of the Books) The second half of the 17 th century seen as high point in use of satire; writers sought to preserve existing culture by pointing out examples of deviation from it. 5
