English Posts At Last

For each of the questions below, write an outline for an essay.  Your outline must include: thesis, topic sentences, and supporting evidence from the text.  I will highlight one of the two essay outlines, and you will write it in class on Friday.  You will not be allowed to use your book.

1. Read the passage that begins, "The essential act of war..." on page 157 and ends with "the natural, unavoidable condition of survival," on page 158 and outline a well-organized essay in which you analyze the rhetorical argument of the passage.  How does the author utilize literary devices such as imagery, sentence organization, and tone to express his argument?

2.  Humanistic philosopher Erich Fromm wrote that 1984, in its dystopian tendencies, expressed "the powerlessness and hopelessness of modern man just as the early utopias expressed the mood of self-confidence."  Analyze how the literary devices of irony, paradox, and tone contribute to express the sense of hopelessness in the novel.
