Homework due 7/20

Since we didn't get all the way through talking about analysis today, I'm going to truncate the homework a bit. Please pay attention to the homework here, not what's on the syllabus!

Assignment:
Answer the following analysis questions about the Heilbroner essay:

1. Is there a clear organizational pattern? If so, what is it?
2. Does the language make the topic and argument clear? Could more precise language have been used? Give 1 or 2 examples.
3. Does the author use vivid details, words that appeal to the sense, and words with emotional intensity? If so, give examples.
4. Are the sentences concise? Lengthy and complicated? Something else? Give 1 or 2 examples.
5. Is the voice appropriate for the topic? How does it seem: friendly, adversarial, pompous, formal, something else? Why?
6. What is the persuasive piece of evidence, example, or claim Heilbroner uses?

You can review analysis on pp. 254-267 in your textbook. You don't (yay!) need to read pp. 6-12 of "Sociology of Discrimination."

Don't forget! Project 1 Final Draft due tomorrow! Hard-copy, stapled, all that good stuff!
