T.E.X.A.S style paragraph
USE THIS LINK (Caffeine Chapter of Michael Pollan This is Your Mind on Plants.pdf) to answer the question below: In at least 200-250 words, answer one of the discussion questions in a T.E.X.A.S. style paragraph. In the analysis section of your paragraph, analyze the quote you′ve chosen for pathos. I HAVE CHOSEN Pathos !!! Be sure to integrate a quote from the assigned text for this discussion. Choose one of the aspects of rhetoric he used and analyze it more deeply. For the claim in your topic sentence, answer the following: Was his use of the aspect of rhetoric you chose effective in conveying his argument? Why or why not? As you explain your reasoning, remember that all of the literary devices we practiced earlier in the semester (e.g. tone, diction, connotation, denotation, and mood) are still fair game, if they connect to the aspect of rhetoric you chose, and they′re great ways to add depth to your analysis section. Tip: In order to answer the discussion question, you need to take a moment before you begin writing to determine what his central message in the chapter is. One easier way to do so is to describe the chapter to someone who hasn′t read it. As you do so, you can describe his evidence and why he shares it with us. This pre-writing will help you focus your ideas later.
