From such an Assembly can a perfect Production be expected? - Benjamin Franklin Group 4
Tone By: Victoria Coyle, Kimberly Manary, Nallely Palestine, Jordan Issa
Definition What is tone? Tone is the speaker s attitude towards the subject ~ consider what tone of voice benjamin franklin has when delivering the speech through James wilson
Analyzing Tone #2 I don t know how it happens, Sister, but I meet with nobody but myself that s always in the right.
Franklin s Tone ~ Earnest ~ Serious...that every member of the convention, who may still have objections to it, would with me on this occasion doubt a little of his own Infallibility, and to make manifest our unanimity, put his name to this instrument.
Group 6 Effective Parallelism Effective parallelism is when ideas in a sentence are similar, which reinforce the meaning by creating parallel structures. The repetition in effective parallelism adds emphasis to what the speaker is saying and the audience will be able to grasp a better understanding of the subject. They are also more likely to remember what the speaker says because of the repetition.
Group 6 Faulty parallelism is when two or more parts of a sentence are roughly the same in meaning but different grammatically or in form When faulty parallelism is used, it creates a jarring effect and makes the sentence have unclear emphasis and meaning
Group 6 EFFECTIVE PARALLELISM It therefore astonishes me, Sir, to find this System approaching so near to Perfectionism as it does; and I think it will astonish our Enemies
Group 6 Faulty Parallelism Thus I consent, Sir, to this the Constitution because I expect no better, and because I am not sure that it is not the best.
Justin Onu, Zoe Choi, Shyann Franklin, Jemima Rodriguez Mrs.Histed AP English Language - P.2 12 September 2017 Group 7 Argumentation: Exploration of a problem by investigating all sides of it; persuasion through reason. [...] I confess that I do not entirely approve of this Constitution [...], but [...] I am not sure I shall never approve it [...] [...] I believe further that this is likely to be well administered for a Course of Years [...] [...] [whoever] may still have Objections to it, would with me on this Occasion doubt a little of his own Infallibility, and to make manifest our Unanimity, put his name to this instrument.
Group 8 SimileThe rhetorical device simile is a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing or idea with another thing or idea of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid.
Group 8 Uses of SimileThe object of a simile is to spark an interesting connection in a reader's or listener's mind. Simile is one of the most common forms of figurative language. It s found anywhere from poems to song lyrics and even in everyday conversations.
Group 8 ExamplesSimiles in Everyday Language As light as a feather As blind as a bat
Group 8...and I think it will astonish our Enemies, who are waiting with Confidence to hear that our councils are confounded, like those of the Builders of Babel.
