In-Class Activity: 4.19.11 (Scavenger Hunt)

Working in pairs, examine Braudy's article to find the following:

  1. Arguments of definition: what words, phrases, or concepts does he define? How does he define them?
  2. Background information: what does he tell his readers to contextualize his argument?
  3. Appeals to logos: Where does he make logical arguments or support claims with evidence? What are some examples of his claims and evidence?
  4. Arguments of fact: What facts (numerical, historical, etc.) does he present to support his argument? What facts has he left out?
