Coming tomorrow: connections between Ehrenreich and our other social class texts
This, I believe, is
Winter Formal week. Plan accordingly.
Question: What, if anything, is society’s obligation to the
poor? Using several of the pieces we have read in this unit, as well as your
own personal experiences, reading, and research, explain how and why society at
large ought (or ought not) to help those who can’t help themselves. Support
your thesis with direct quotations from multiple texts (a minimum of three
sources from class, plus one additional source from the Gale Databases),
properly formatted in MLA style.
This paper will require you to define some key terms:
society, obligation, and poor. We’ve read a number of models of authors using
a variety of techniques to define complex terms. Quoting the dictionary is
rarely necessary or effective. If you do quote the dictionary, you don’t need
to cite it.
Typed. Double Spaced. Twelve point. No blank lines between
paragraphs, except to indicate a major shift in tone or setting. Four – six pages. Don’t forget a title.
Required:
Three rhetorical strategies from The Virtual Salt, underlined and labeled
(handwritten labels are acceptable, as are footnotes).
A minimum of three sources from class.
A minimum of one additional source from Gale.
A minimum of two synthesis paragraphs.
Properly formatted Works Cited Page.
Suggested: Consider the tone you want to set from the
outset. Narrative openings emphasize pathos. Openings filled with stats and
facts emphasize logos. What is the most effective tone for you to employ?
Audience: 1) “Society.” 2) Yourself.
Purpose: 1) To suggest a plan of action for the future. 2)
To convince “society” to embrace your plan.
How to approach this paper:
·Define your key terms.
·Develop an opinion on this subject.
·Gather evidence (from our texts and from
research) to support your opinion. This is an argument; therefore, personal experience is valid evidence and
first person is an acceptable POV.
·Consider counter arguments.
·Craft an outline.
·Create clear, defensible topic sentences.
·Draft paragraphs with two quotations to support
your topic sentences.
·Draft paragraphs with an eye towards ethos,
pathos, and logos.
·Proofread to ensure your quotations are properly
formatted and cited. For this essay, “you will need to include the author’s
name in your parenthetical citation” (Kline 1).

I just started re-reading Nickel and Dimed this evening. In the introduction, I have six sticky notes with a total of 17 notes covering 9 different rhetorical strategies (lots of ethos and diction notes, among others). It's been awhile since I've used sticky notes instead of simply writing in the book, and I'd forgotten how much it slows me down. Give yourself lots of time to read.
Also, on the very first page, Ehrenreich writes about "the roughly four million women about to be booted into the labor market by welfare reform"(Ehrenreich 1). It would be a good idea to figure out what welfare reform she's talking about and how it affected our society.
I hope you're enjoying your break! I've certainly enjoyed reading your cover letters. See you next week!
