Purple Lab Day 9-29 : Rage for Words (not a journal)
COMPLETE THIS WORK DURING CLASS THURSDAY IN THE TECH LAB (OR FINISH FOR HOMEWORK). YOU MAY WORK WITH A PARTNER. THIS IS NOT A JOURNAL RESPONSE, BUT AN IN-CLASS ASSIGNMENT. FINISH FOR HOMEWORK IF NECESSARY.
Your senior classmates have provided some sentences that show a mastery of the English language, maybe even a "rage for words." Take a close look at each sentence and tell me what rhetorical "trick" gives these words "life" beyond their mere literal meanings.
What do I mean by a rhetorical trick?
With a classmate (or by yourself), analyze each sentence to discover the "rhetorical trick."
Post your "answers" on the blog, giving your initials and section color, of course (the first sentence is an example of what I'd like you to do).
The best way to do this is to copy and paste the sentences into a word document and work within the document. When you're finished, copy and paste into your comment box. Don't be TOO verbose or your comment might be rejected for exceeding the comment limit.
Some of these sentences will appear as questions on your first test.

Uncle Mark was like a lion in a zoo, only he was unwillingly caged in at Jefferson Hospital.

There was no clothing lying around, no computer to be seen, and the walls were as bare as an elephant's back.
As I stepped over the threshold, the last bit of courage slipped out of the tips of my toes and ran back to the spot on the floor where I had been sitting; my feet wanted to follow.

What do I mean by a rhetorical trick?
Words come to life when they're arranged in figures of speech (metaphors, similes, paradoxes, oxymorons, personification, etc), images, sound patterns (alliteration, assonance), or rhetorical questions. Writing certain sentence patterns (parallel structure) add emphasis. Using crisp action verbs can kick-start a sentence.
The Greeks called this creation of powerful language "rhetoric." It was once a studied, practiced, and revered skill of the Greek citizenry. These days, the use of artful language gets suspicious looks because rhetoric is usually associated with unctuous politicians or ambitious advertisers who are selling themselves or their products.
With a classmate (or by yourself), analyze each sentence to discover the "rhetorical trick."
