1st/2nd AP LANG/ENG 1102
1) Over this LONG WEEKEND, given to you in class FRI. 1/12, RE-read the excerpt/"Prologue" from Victor Herman's autobiographical memoir Coming Out of the Ice (JOURNAL #13)
2) As you re-read, LOCATE and ANNOTATE (on the actual paper/post-its, etc.--y'all know what to do) ONLY TERMS AND LANGUAGE DEVICES THAT USE LOGOS (logical) APPEAL; in other words, what strategies does the author/narrator [Herman] use to reveal logical structure/order/etc. to his readers in his memoir's "Prologue"?
**SOME TERMS/DEVICES TO CONSIDER as you annotate:
- examples of "____ DICTION" (*be specific here!!)
- SYNTAX (sentence order)/STRUCTURE
- PUNCTUATION CHOICE (*VERY NOTICEABLE IN THIS EXCERPT!!!)
- **PARALLEL STRUCTURE/juxtaposition of IDEAS/WORDS
- **SPECIFIC repetition types (end of sentence/beginning/phrases/etc.)
- POINT OF VIEW (POV)/TENSE of narrative
- metaphorical comparisons that would *make logical sense* to readers
3) BUT WAIT; there's MORE! To broaden your understanding of the background behind Herman's harrowing experience in the USSR (**AND** to be ready for your IN-CLASS J#13 WRITTEN RESPONSE TO THIS EXCERPT next week), read the info on the following three quick links (*these three are also linked on the Classroom*):
