Today we broke up the Ascher essay into sections by grouping paragraphs together by a common idea.  Then, we identified appeals made by the writer in each section followed by identifying specific strategies used by the writer.

Strategies include:  details (concrete or sensory AKA imagery), figurative language, symbols, allusions, language (informal, formal, colloquial, euphemistic, bold, harsh, etc.),  word choice, syntax (sentence structure, sentence length, fragments, run-ons),   sound devices (alliteration, repetition of words, phrases, clauses, onomatopoeia, rhyme, rhythm), contrasts (paradox, oxymoron, parallel structure, antithesis, juxtaposition)
