In the discussion board chat, write out responses for each prompt or question in the steps below. (Feel free to do this assignment in a handwritten notebook or different software platform from home or your personal computer and upload it to the discussion as a picture, photo, or screenshot).
Step One: Review Your Essay One Poem
Consider how the poem you choose for essay one approaches the idea of justice:
“climate change”
With what social movement or idea is it most concerned?
What values does the poem seem to express?
What is the political context of the poem (or what political overtones does it seem to express?)
What rhetorical strategies does the poem employ (how does the speaker seem to compel the audience towards their message or beliefs)?
Step Two: Compare your Selected Poem with Chesnutt’s Short Story
Continue working with your analysis notes from last week’s assignments by comparing Grandison from “The Passing of Grandison” with the Speaker’s message from poem you chose to analyze in weeks one and two
Create a Venn Diagram or a T-Chart that compares the rhetoric used in both texts and their approach to power
Consider the following: genre (spoken poem vs short story) context (time text was published, setting, audience, theme, central conflict, speaker vs. character) theme (message, politics, conflict, what is being repeated) audience (who is the text’s indented audience), rhetorical strategy (how is the message delivered to the audience; is it delivered successfully, or does it fall short? Be sure to explain your answer.)
