Things to Remember
- don’t insert your opinion: “the author expands on the barbaric quality of the issue” VS “the author expands on the issue, presenting it as barbaric”
- vary your sentence lengths, don’t continue the fronted non finite verb clause structure over and over again.
- don’t use quotes if you’re not going to fully unpack them. don’t just use quotes to show you can embed multiple in the same sentence.
- mention tone as something that effects your audience and is a technique used by the author but must quote evidence of the tone
- you can mention form as a separate technique in the same way by inserting it when it is relevant like a visual. why does the form of the text help the author’s point in this section? why use a newspaper? why a digital forum?
- is their argument type logic minded/community minded/ emotionally driven? are they actually enshrouding other motivations under a certain argument type
