* Running Journal Assignment
- For
each chapter, hand copy a quotation you think rich, insightful, or nicely
composed.
- Explain the significance of the quote in more than one
sentence.
- List one rhetorical device within the quote.
- Then find and define one new vocabulary word.
- Chapter 1 Example:
- "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age
of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it
was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the
season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of
despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were
all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way –
in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of
its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for
evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only" (Dickens 1).
- Respond to the text.
- Identify at least one rhetorical term.
- Find and define one new vocabulary word (from anywhere in the chapter).
