This is a long article, but it is engaging. This assignment will requirethat you employ active reading strategies. There are two ways to read this. You can print out the PDF version (highly recommended) and annotate by hand, or you can read the online version and use another method to take notes. Important note on the reading: Lepore uses direct quotes and two of those include the use of the “n” word. That has been modified in the PDF version by using N*, but the web version maintains the integrity of the published version with the original quotes.Read through the questions before you begin to help guide your annotations/note taking strategies. (Word to the wise: do not wait until the last day to read the article and complete– this assignment.)PDF version of New Yorker “Kent State and the War That Never Ended” by Jill LeporeActionsRECOMMEND WEBSITE LINK BELOWhttps://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2020/05/04/kent-state-and-the-war-that-never-ended (Links to an external site.)AFTER READING THE ARTICLE- RESPOND TO THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS. USE FULL SENTENCES AND COMPLETE THOUGHTS. SUBMIT THE QUESTIONS HERE AND MOVE ON TO THE SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION. (Each question has multiple parts- that means each answer will have multiple sentences.) -Think about the discussion of audience appeals in chapter one. Find examples of ethos, logos, and pathos from this article. Which of these rhetorical devices do you think she uses particularly well and why? Provide at least one example with your answer. -Think about the genre discussion in chapter two and then think about how genre and audience can work together. Now consider when Lepore tells us about “Derf Backderf’s deeply researched and gut-wrenching graphic nonfiction novel, Kent State: Four Dead in Ohio.” (Links to an external site.) Why do you think Derf chose to use the genre of graphic nonfiction to tell this story? Is this a genre you are familiar with? What might that genre bring to the story and what audience might that appeal to? – (Links to an external site.)Lepore tells us this story has been told “so many times before” and she goes on to discuss the many books and articles that were written in the immediate aftermath and still continue to be written to this day. Why do think this story has been told so many times before? Does this story still have relevance today? Why or why not? -Lepore uses story telling techniques that shows the reader a scene, rather than tells the reader about the scene. Find an example of where she is showing and explain how that works to better inform and/or engage the reader. -In the midst of an essay about an event that took place 50 years ago, Lepore includes this: (It’s worth noting that both Trump and Biden avoided the draft: Trump said he had bone spurs; Biden got five student deferments and later cited asthma.) Why did she make that choice? Do you think it was a good choice? What kind of appeal does that bring to her writing? -Lepore is an accomplished author and historian, but she is unique in that she uses story telling as argument in much of her work. Lepore explains “You can grab a reader by persuading them by way of a story instead of an argument…I always structure articles so that you’re wrapped up in the story and you won’t even notice the argument I’m making until the very end.” Did you feel so wrapped up in the story that you didn’t “even notice the argument” until the very end? Was there an argument? If so, what was the argument? Can you describe another example(s) of any genre where you got so wrapped up in the story you didn’t realize there was argument presented until the very end? -What do you see as Lepore’s purpose in writing this? Do you think she achieved that purpose? Why or why not? -Rhetorically speaking, what worked for you in this piece? What did not work for you? Arts & Humanities English ENGL 101
