Rep. Rogers calls latest Libya intel disclosures ‘orchestrated defense’ of administration
In this article the author uses a lot of diction that would lead you to believe that what Rogers has said is true. They call it the "deadly attack" and then leading you to believe it was brought on by our own administration.
The article includes details that would make the reader appauled that the administration would do such a thing. Like that 3 other US citizens were killed along with the ambassador Stevens.
The language on this post is very informative. Even though the author wants you to be on the side of Rogers that would fall under diction. Everything he is saying is very detail oriented and informative> the author is just telling the reader facts so that you will choose his side.

ReplyDeleteI think you did a nice job on explaining how those aspects of DILDS were included in this article. However, I think you could use more specific examples. Maybe you could include more quotes, especially ones that show detail and language. You did include one little quote for the diction paragraph, but I think a couple more quotes would add to your close reading because it's a tad short.
I see that in this post you have tied everything back to your thesis, which shows me that you are thinking about what your peer reviewers said about last month's Close Reading--this is great. But another issue in last month's post was a slight misunderstanding of the term "diction." This time it's "language." Remember that when we talk about language in this context we're talking about figurative language. And as Julie notes this month, you need WAY more evidence.
ReplyDeleteI don't have much to add to what Julie and Ms.Holmes have said. You obviously understand what the point of the close reading is and you tie in the "what" and the "why" well, but you do need more examples/evidence. Also, remember that diction is supposed to be only one word.
ReplyDeletePerhaps you are a bit too rushed on some of these assignments. A good idea may be to move your blogging time to Saturdays so you don't have the urge to press the publish button until your post is all polished up.
