Rhetoric Midterm

In the text box, enter your question (label it QUESTION, in all caps) and directly beneath it your answer (ANSWER in all caps). Be sure to include your name in your post.

As a guide to the kinds of questions I'm looking for, use the 30 midterm review questions posted on the EXAMS page of the course website. As an alternative to writing out an answer, you can refer us to a particular page in one of our textbooks or a page (provide URL) on our course website. You may post as many questions and answers as you like up until the evening of the midterm exam. However, I will have finished making up the exam by Sunday night, October 21, so if you'd like to see your question considered for the exam, post it by Sunday evening. I can't promise that I'll use your question (or even a version of it), but the review should be helpful in any case. Each evening I'll check the postings on the forum and correct or delete any misinformation that I might find there. Posting questions and answers isn't a requirement, but there's not a single good reason not to post at least one Q & A.

Message:   I figured since we spent so much time on Mr. Douglass why not make a question up about him.
QUESTION: Within Frederick Douglass' Speech "What to the slave is the Fourth of July?" Examine the passage and identify the following: asyendton, polysyendton, tricolons, pairs, crot, parenthesis, and anaphora? Second paragraph on page six!

ANSWER:
"Whether we turn to the declarations of the ast, or to the professions of the present(PAIR), the conduct of the nation sees equally hideous and revolting. America is false to the past, false to the present, and solemnly binds herself to be fasl to the future(TRICOLON). Standing with God and te crushed and bleeding slve on this occasion,(POLYSYENDTON),I will, in the nme of humanity, which is outraged, inthe name of liberty, which is fettered, in the name of the Constiution and the Bible, which are disregarded and trampled upon, dare to call in question and to denounce, with all the empasis I can command everything that serves to perpetate slavery(PARENTHESIS and ASYENDTON)--(CROT)the great sin and shame of America! I will not equivocate--(CROT) I will not excuse. I will use the severest language I can command, and yet bot one word shall escape me that any man , whose judgment is not blinded by prejudice, or who is not a hearta slave-holder, shall not convess to be right and just. (ANAPHORA I WILL NOT/I WILL)

I don't know if this is effective, I just thought it might be a good idea and it resembles some of the sample questions on the review! Good luck!!!!
