3 Reason and Revolution Unit Objectives In this unit, students will examine some of the historical documents that helped shape the nation with an emphasis on the rhetorical skills of Revolutionary Era writers and speakers. Students will be asked not only to identify elements of rhetoric within the documents, but also to evaluate the effectiveness of these elements to better understand the colonial voices that, in the course of time and under the pressure of novel ideas and events, contributed to the American Revolution. Essential Questions What historical people and items influenced the literature of this period? What was the purpose of writing during the American Revolution? How do writers of non-fiction texts use examples, evidence, and other rhetorical strategies to convince a reader of their claim? Why was defining an American so important to Americans during this time period?

4 Metaphor a direct comparison of two unlike things a type of figurative language in which a statement is made that says that one thing is something else but, literally, it is not. EXAMPLE: It s raining cats and dogs outside.

5 Simile a comparison of two things using like or as a type of figurative language, language that does not mean exactly what it says, that makes a comparison between two otherwise unalike objects or ideas by connecting them with the words "like" or "as. EXAMPLE: Common contemporary similes are running like a bat out of hell and working nonstop as if possessed. Perhaps the best known simile in English poetry is Robert Burns s line: My love is like a red, red rose.

6 Allusion a reference in a literary work to a person, place, or thing in history or another work of literature. Allusions are often indirect or brief references to well-known characters or events. They are used to summarize broad, complex ideas or emotions in one quick, powerful image. EXAMPLE: Describing someone as a "Romeo" makes an allusion to the famous young lover in Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare.

7 Analogy a similarity between like features of two things on which comparison may be based In argumentation and persuasion, analogy is often used as a form of reasoning in which one thing is compared to or contrasted with another in certain respects, based on the known similarity or dissimilarity in other respects. An analogy is often used to paint vivid word pictures. EXAMPLE: I feel like a fish out of water. This implies that you are not comfortable in your surroundings.

8 Archetype a symbol, usually an image, which recurs often enough in literature to be recognizable as an element of one's literary experience as a whole. EXAMPLES: The hero - The courageous figure, the one who's always running in and saving the day. Example: Dartagnon from The Three Musketeers The outcast A person that has been cast out of society or has left it on a voluntary basis. Example: Piggy from The Lord of the Flies The scapegoat - The scapegoat is the one who gets blamed for everything, regardless of whether he or she is actually at fault. Example: Snowball from Animal Farm

9 Hyperbole an extravagant exaggeration. a figure of speech that is a grossly exaggerated description or statement. In literature, such exaggeration is used for emphasis or vivid descriptions. EXAMPLE: I had so much homework, I needed a pickup truck to carry all my books home!

10 Repetition a technique in which a sound, word, phrase, or line is repeated for effect or emphasis. Example: The Raven Quoth the Raven, Nevermore. OR Penny, Penny, Penny

11 Parallelism refers to the repeated use of phrases, clauses, or sentences that are similar in structure or meaning. Writers use this technique to emphasize important ideas, create rhythm, and make their writing more forceful and direct. EXAMPLE: - Like father, like son. - It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

12 Rhetorical Question one asked solely to produce an effect or to make a statement, but not expected to receive an answer. The purpose to such a question, whose answer is obvious, is usually to make a deeper impression upon the hearer or reader than a direct statement would. EXAMPLE: How stupid do you think I am?

13 Theme a common thread or repeated idea that is incorporated throughout a literary work. a thought or idea the author presents to the reader that may be deep, difficult to understand, or even moralistic. Generally, a theme has to be extracted as the reader explores the passages of a work. The author utilizes the characters, plot, and other literary devices to assist the reader in this endeavor. Example: Think of all the themes from The Crucible Standing for truth, even to your death Rising over adversity Jealousy Young Love is dumb
