I just found my new vocabulary list:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_rhetorical_terms
AP English (Lang.) Rhetoric P. 1
Methods of Appeal:
Pathos: This is the emotional appeal. It's really common, think of puppy commercials or starving children. It is meant to sock your audience right in the fucking gut with all the power that the gods of propaganda will give you. It can make you happy and proud, sad and ashamed, or most commonly outraged and disgusted. Most commonly used in commercials or in works of literature.
Ex. "Friends, Romans, Countrymen. Lend me your ears- someone fucking stabbed Caesar!"
Logos: This is like if Spock decided to say you were wrong (terrifying). It would be a list of facts and statistics interspersed with future projections and stone cold evidence. Most commonly found in scientific papers and official debates where the two sides are actually informed.
Ex. "Well if you were to look at the recent rise in pay which has leveled at..."
Ethos: This is essentially where one would ride on the curtails of either their reputation or the reputation of their source. If say you wanted to seem knowledgeable about the theory of relativity would you quote Einstein or your next door neighbor? Probably Einstein because his name is well known and his abilities proven.
Ex. "4 out of 5 doctors recommend."
Poem/Song I did for an English assignment
In Midday of Monday a september afternoon A dog had an assignment that to be done soon
About 20 times it was reconfigured and rewrote what was intended to be a poem was now an anecdote
"I need more rhetorical terms" He irritatingly said "This assignment is worse than worms I'd rather be dead"
He tried emptying his head but he just couldn't clear it then out of the dead came a rhetorical spirit which said
"I see you need help With rhetoric devices My diction will assist you with grammatical spices"
"Oh God, Silly Ghost Just leave me be" "Dog!" He replied "You just used an apostrophe!"
"Alrighty Ghost But can you decide A proper euphemism for the word died"
"Try Gone, Or asleep or Excommunication Or just take a straightforward leap and use denotation"
But then Dog who was still filled with confusion ask "What's Figurative Language? Like Analogy and Allusion?"
"Well Dog", he said kind of mysteriously "That stuff just means don't take it seriously"
"Even saying "Dawg" A term I've been stressin Is just colloquialism; A slang-type expression"
"I guess this is Goodbye" Said the kinda-sad Dog and with a tear in each eye Ghost went back in the fog
Rhetorical Terms
Okay, what is antimetabole? I'm pretty sure that people don't actually write with "repetition of words, in successive clause, in reverse grammatical order."
My computer is telling me I spelled it wrong, but it's straight off this sheet he gave us at the beginning of the year.
Tomorrow will be a lot of guesswork.
