Classwork: Today is all about Persuasion:
Applying the vocabulary to Thomas Paine's "The Crisis":
"THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph."
Rhetorical Appeals at a glance: figurative language, loaded words, argument by analogy.
