3. Personification
A special kind of metaphor that gives human qualities to something that is not human, such as an animal, a object, or an idea.
Since it is a kind of metaphor, it has a literal and figurative term
In personification, the figurative term is always a person.
Remember:
A literal term is what we are comparing to something else. It’s what’s real; it means what it is. In “the test was a bear,” we are really talking about a test.
A figurative term is what is being compared to the literal term. It is something other than itself, something non-literal. In “the test was a bear,” the test is not a bear, but it has some bear-like qualities that can help us understand just how hard the test was

4. Personification Example of personification:
The tree sighed sadly in the cold.
A tree can’t really sigh or be sad.
The literal term is the tree (it really is a tree!) – it is what we are comparing to something else
The figurative term is a person (the tree is not really a person who can sigh and be sad). – it is what is being compared to the literal term.

5. Figurative Language in Action
The ruddy brick floor smiled up at the smoky ceiling; the oaken settles*, shiny with long wear, exchanged cheerful glances with each other; plates on the dresser grinned at pots on the shelf, and the merry firelight flickered and played over everything without distinction.
-- Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows
*long wooden benches with high backs that usually have storage space in the seat
Identify the 4 examples of personification in the passage, and identify the literal and figurative term (in this case the human characteristics associated)
How does the use of personification help the reader visualize and connect to the passage? What kind of feeling is created by the personification?

6. Vocab Unit 9 - intro

7. Sample Thesis Statements

8. Sample #1
Sexual trafficking causes post-traumatic stress disorder, exposure to HIV, and possibly substance abuse that is enacted upon them.
What’s wrong here?
Revised: The sex trafficking epidemic destroys the lives of children both emotionally and physically
Revised even better: The United States government should develop and implement stricter laws in order to control the sex trafficking epidemic more effectively.
What’s better here?

9. Sample #2
The unjust actions of the Turkish government to marginalize the Kurd minority due to their culture strays from the original rights the Kurds are given, causing them to be abused, generalized, and silenced.
What’s wrong here?
Revised: The government of Turkey should be ostracized and sanctioned by the United Nations because it continues to consistently and directly violate the human rights of the Kurdish minority.
What’s better here?

10. Sample #3
The dehumanization of illegal immigrants and the desire to immigrate due to conflicts in their country are the reasons why illegal immigrants should have the right to a trial.
What’s wrong here?
Revised: The United States should prioritize giving fair and just trials to illegal immigrants despite their legal status.
What’s better here?

11. Sample #4
The slave trade in Libya tears family apart, causing the victims to endure mental and physical abuse everyday.
What’s wrong here?
Revised: The government of Libya should be punished by the international community for its willful ignorance of the ongoing slave trade that violates the human rights of its citizens.
What’s better here?

(significant quotes/power quotes)
Possible Sentences – Chaps

13. ATSS, Chaps. 27-35 Possible Sentences
Generate 8 words that connect to these chapters
Your group should now discuss and agree on 8 words together. They can be a combo of words and should be on a new piece of paper.
Trade your group’s list with another group.
With the other group’s words, create 2 sentences that capture something about the chapter – using at least 2 words in each sentence.
Power Quotes – Identify at least ONE power quote per chapter; write it down with page number and jot a few quick notes as to why it’s a “power quote”

14. The Visual Argument
Remember rhetorical appeals to ethos (credibility), logos (logic) and pathos (emotion)?
Authors can influence audiences by using images or visual elements as powerful support for their arguments. 
Visual rhetoric is a term used to describe images that make or support an argument. Visual rhetoric may also include the use of text features, such as fonts and white space, or graphics, such as illustrations, charts, and cartoons. 
Reflect on the photograph on next pages. What rhetorical appeals does it make?

15. “Boat of No Smiles”
What rhetorical appeals do you see here? Effects?

What is a Photo Essay?
An essay is an interpretive or analytical composition that reveals the author’s perspective on a subject.
A photo essay reveals the author’s perspective on the subject through a collection of photographic images. Just as the words and sentences in a written essay are placed in a specific order, the images in a photo essay are placed in a specific way to express ideas, convey emotions, and show a progression of thoughts or events.

17. Reading a Photo Essay
Consider the photographic terms we learned last week and also,
focus on the following items as you “read” and analyze the photo essay:
title
sequence of images
content of photographs
captions
purpose
target audience
issue and position
Also, consider the rhetoric used in the essay.
