Additional Info

For your essay:

1) Write down a sentence that you think expresses what Fenn wants from her readers. Does she want us to feel? To think? To act? Think about what her intent is. Include the why--"Fenn does this because..."  Be specific.

2) Write down five pieces of evidence that support your response to #1.

3) Choose three of those pieces of evidence, and write about how they support #1. Focus on the sentence as a whole, but also look closely at the language. What words or phrases seem to be significant? Why?

4) If given a piece of writing to analyze on your own, what are three specific things you can always look for? Why is it good to look for these things?
