Still Sick…

Themes:

I’m wasting away here, guys.

Your assignment today was to begin annotating Martin Luther King’s "Letter from Birmingham Jail."  This is a near-perfect example of a solid argument, one that carefully balances the rhetorical triangle while employing a myriad of rhetorical figures. You’ve gotta love that.

Your job for tonight is to annotate passages you find interesting (see your handout "AP Review Through Vocabulary" for why this is important, as well as how to do it), and mark the appeals to emotion, to logic, and from Dr. King’s character.  (Highlighters work well for this.)

We will discuss our reactions in class tomorrow.
