Today we took more notes on the persuasive techniques used by the different characters in Act I of The Crucible.

Be sure you can recognize the following rhetorical terms as we discuss the play: Subject; Occasion(Context); Audience; Speaker; the three appeals (logical, ethical, and emotional).

How does Parris (speaker) appeal to Abigail (audience) to get her to tell him what happened in the forest the night before (subject) since now he is daughter lies unresponsive on the bed (occasion) and why (purpose)?

Be sure to review the Persuasive Techniques handout.  Expect a quiz on Wednesday.  Here are the flashcards.
