Write a response in which you choose one of the three texts we read in class:
"America" . by Neil Diamond, "America" by Paul Hoagland, and "A Quilt of a Country" by Anna Quindlen. You may type or handwrite it. Typed is preferred and will be required going forward. Save an electronic copy of your document in Google Drive.
Of the three texts, which is the most effective? Explain:
- Summarize the writer’s message (in your own words). What was the writer trying to say to the audience through the text he/she wrote?
- Provide text evidence (direct quote from the text). Choose this evidence carefully. Avoid choosing too much text. Make sure that the text you choose relates to your argument - why this text is so effective.
- Analyze: What makes the writing so effective? Use what you learned about the devices writers use to communicate their message.
