**ATTENTION 1st/2nd AP/1102: LONG WKEND HW RDG/ANNOTATIONS DUE COMPLETED TUES. 1/16**

1st/2nd AP LANG/ENG 1102

HW DUE MON. 1/27:  


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*):

--Henry Ford and Ford Motor Co.'s Ties to USSR/Socialism 


--The Gulags: Stalin's Forced Labor Camps
