  1. June 19th, 2013 Quotations, Citations, and BA 5

  2. Some more Rhetorical Devices • Hypophora - Raising a question then providing a response • Allegory - a form of extended metaphor, in which objects, persons, and actions in a narrative, are equated with the meanings that lie outside the narrative itself. The underlying meaning has moral, social, religious, or political significance, and characters are often personifications of abstract ideas as charity, greed, or envy.Thus an allegory is a story with two meanings, a literal meaning and a symbolic meaning. • Euphemism - Using a mild or gentle phrase instead of a blunt, embarrassing, or painful one. The idea is to put something bad, disturbing, or embarrassing in an inoffensive or neutral light. • Oxymoron - a statement with two parts which seem contradictory; examples: sad joy, a wise fool, the sound of silence, or Hamlet’s saying, “I must be cruel only to be kind” • Personification - treating abstractions or inanimate objects as human, that is, giving them human attributes, powers, or feelings, e.g., “nature wept” or “the wind whispered many truths to me.”

  3. New article • Originally published in 2005 in Popular Science • What are the two sides of the argument presented? • Read and note rhetorical choices • The piece is largely informative, presenting both sides of an argument; but, which side do you think the author sides with personally? Why do you think that?

  4. Integrating Quotes into a Paper • DON’T just… • “sandwich” a quote into your paragraph • Layne (1994) uses shocking words. “If history is ‘just one damn thing after another,’ then for realists international politics is the same damn things over and over again…” (317). He surprises his reader into paying attention to his point. • toss in a quote at the beginning of a paragraph • Do “Couch”(integrate) every quote: • Use a topic sentence that discusses your point • Build an introduction that leads from the previous sentence to your quote • Use a follow-up sentence that explains SPECIFICALLY what part of the quote illustrates your point • Layne (1994) uses shocking words to obtain his audience’s attention. For example, he uses the word “damn” in the following quote: “If history is ‘just one damn thing after another,’ then for realists international politics is the same damn things over and over again…” (317). The word “damn” is surprising in an academic article, and its presence and repetition is so striking that it makes his audience pay attention to what he is saying.

  5. Proper Citation • St. Martin’s handbook: Part 3, Chapter 16 • “This sentence is a direct quote” (Mitchell 13). • This sentence is a paraphrase of the direct quote (Mitchell 13). • Works Cited: Last name, First name. "Title of Essay." Title of Collection. Edition. City of Publication: Publisher, Year. Page range of entry. Medium of Publication.

  6. BA: 5 Integrating and Evaluating Quotations • DUE THIS Monday, Feb. 25 @ 11:59 PM: • Objective: To identify and evaluate quotations for use in your analysis essay. • Description:  Begin by writing your working thesis at the top of your assignment. Then, select a minimum of five quotations from the article that you plan to incorporate into your draft as examples of particular rhetorical devices. Write a brief assessment of why each quotation would be useful to you in composing your draft.  • Where will this quotation fit in your organization? • How does it demonstrate the points you are trying to make about the author's writing? • Your analysis, not counting the quotations, should be 500-650  words (100-125 words per evaluation for each quote) • NOTE: You may find that in identifying and evaluating your quotations, you will need to modify and improve your original thesis statement.

  7. BA 5 Format YOUR WORKING THESIS STATEMENT AT THE TOP QUOTE 1: "Sample quote here" (proper MLA citation). Paragraph of evaluation: How you will put it in your rhetorical analysis, what rhetorical choice you think it applies to, and how it demonstrates the point you are trying to make about the author's work, whether you will quote directly or paraphrase. (100-125 words) QUOTE 2: "Place your quote here" (proper MLA citation). Same thing here QUOTE 3: "Place your quote here" (proper MLA citation). Same QUOTE 4: "Place your quote here" (proper MLA citation). Same QUOTE 5: "Place your quote here" (proper MLA citation). Same WORK CITED
