Rhetoric: (Noun) is the art of effective or persuasive speaking or writing . With movies or other visual mediums, think about the use if figures of speech, images and music.
Lets talk dialogue
Tip #1 watch your dialogue tags
A dialogue is the bit you put before or after the dialogue:
Example: he said, she asked, I replied
"jem said quietly, " My sister ain't dirty and I ain't scared of you" (Lee 106)
Tip #2 Realistic doesn't mean real
When writing Dialogue, eliminate the "ums" hesitations repetitions and so on
Tip #3 Give your characters distinct speech patterns
age- 13 year old will speak differently than a 70 year old
gender- woman and men use different vocabulary
Educational background: does your character have a wide or limited vocab
Tip #4 get in late, leave early
don't have to begin the conversation at the first word and end at the last
Tip #5 punctuate dialogue correctly
- begin on new line for every speaker
-have a double or single quotation marks around words
-have punctuation between the quotation marks
-end the dialogue line with a comma if you are adding a dialogue tag
Tip #6 In a novel dialogue should do one if not all of the following
reveal characters relationships to another
move the story forward
increase the tension
develop underlying emotion of a character and their character traits
SAT Test Taking Tips #3
Predict your answer
- If you know what you’re looking for in advance, you will be less likely to fall for a trap.
POE= Process of elimination
On easy & medium questions, you’ll be able to eliminate 3 of 4 answers using your prediction. On hard questions, you should be able to eliminate two.
Mostly Right/Slightly Wrong: Answers look just about perfect except for a word or two that doesn’t match the text. Could Be True: Answers seem to make sense or are logical but they aren’t supported by the text.
Deceptive Language: May contain words that look exactly like what you saw in the passage but they are put together in a way that they do not say what you need them to say.

Why does Jem have to read to Mrs. Dubose? What is actually happening as he reads? Why does Atticus say Mrs. Dubose has “real courage”?
Jem has to read to Mrs. Dubose because he destroyed her garden. When he is reading she keeps correcting him and she also falls asleep. Atticus says she has real courage because she faces challenges that are impossible and she knows what to do.
There are clear gender roles during this time period. How are girls and boys supposed to act? How to these expectations complicate Scout’s life?

It shows that Bob does not really show care for his daughters well being. Then there will be no actual evidence of who it was.
Chapter 19 & 20
Thinking back on Erikson’s Stages of Development (hopefully you have notes in your digital notebook), the theory behind the stages is that you have to complete one stage in order to start the next. What stage do you believe Mayella Ewell is at? What stage should she be at? What textual evidence can you provide that supports your claim?
How do the themes race, education and wealth surface during the court scene? Find textual evidence to support your claimed theme. Do you think the court scene would have been different is Mr. Ewell was wealthy or educated? If so, what does that say about our justice system? Are there prejudices in the justice system?
Is Mayella Ewell like her father or different from him? In what ways?
she is kind of like him because they are both very defensive.
How does Atticus use Mr. Ewell’s literacy to build his case?

How does Dill react to Mr. Gilmer’s questioning of Mr. Robinson? What about Dill’s character could have triggered his response? (Think about all the places he has lived, his unknown family history, etc).
How does Mr. Gilmer try to prove that Tom is guilty? What key question does he ask? And why did Tom’s answer cause the courthouse to react?

Passive and Active Voice
Active voice- means the subject of the sentence is doing the action.
ex: Tucker loves coffee.
Passive voice- is that means the subject receives the action
ex: Coffee is loves by tucker
note: coffee is not doing an action
Look for the word "by" it often appears in sentences that are written in the passive voice

The Sixth Extinction by Elizabeth Kolbert
Prologue
The sixth extinction each tracks a species
In the early chapters the animals are already gone, the second half is recent
Humans are changing the atmosphere which is causing changes in the ocean
Chapter VI: The Sea Around Us
-Carbon dioxide dissolves in water causing acid
-too much acidity in the water solid calcium carbonate begins to dissolve which causes calcifiers to dissolve
-too much acidity in the water solid calcium carbonate begins to dissolve which causes calcifiers to dissolve
-shells are going away almost being transparent
-The industrial revolution is when humans began to burn fossil fuels- coal,oil, natural gases which has added 356 billion metric tons of carbon into the atmosphere
-It is to be found that there will be an increase in average global temp of 3-7 degrees fahrenheit which will cause the disappearance of glaciers
-ocean is covering 70% of earths surface
-gases in atmosphere are being subsumed by the ocean
-By the pH levels declining .1 it is showing that the water has become 30% more acidic since the 1800s
-Ocean Acidification is a very big problem in is in the last two big five extinctions
-calcifier- to any organism that builds a shell/ external skeleton kind of internal scaffolding out of the mineral calcium carbonate
ex- star fish, sea urchins, clams, oysters, barnacles, many species of coral
Chapter VII: Dropping Acid
-“amongst the wonderful objects of the world” - Darwin description of the coral reefs
-Reefs- organic paradoxes, constructed by tiny creatures, part animal/vegetable/mineral, mostly dead
-Many creatures rely on coral reefs
-Corals like light and can not be exposed to air for a long time they grow high as water level at low tides
-Many coral reefs in tropical pacific, Indian Ocean and the Red Sea
- Smaller coral in Belize
-Evidence that carbon dioxide killed coral was from Arizona (Biosphere2)
-pH is generally used to tell the effects of acidification in the ocean and there is also other ways such as "saturation state with respect of calcium carbonate"
- Saturation state is determined by a chemical formula- measured the concentration of calcium and carbonate ions, when carbon dioxide dissolves forming carbonic acid which "eats" carbonate ions it then lowers the saturation state
- corals grow fast at aragonite saturation state five and slower at four and three
- Today almost no place where saturation state is between five and four
- Reefs keep getting eaten by fish sea, urchins, and worms
- half million - 9 million species live there lives on coral reefs
-Ocean acidification is not the only threat reefs are under
-corals of the Great Barrier Reef observe a lunar calendar
-after a full moon at the start of the austral summer once a year they engage in a mass
spawning
Chapter VIII: The Forest and The Trees
-Global warming is a big threat to cold loving species
-Animals on ice seals or polar bears will be affected as the ice melts away
-1,035 tree species have been counted there, roughly fifty times as many as candas boreal species
-"The trees were not just trees;they were more like botanical gardens, covered with ferns and orchids and bromeliads and strung with lianas." (Kolbert 98)
-a small availability of light and bit space occuppied competition for resources was evidently
-"Trees can’t actually move, but they can do the next best thing, which is to disperse seeds that grow into new trees." (Kolbert 98)
- Earths temperatures on surface vary
- "Over the lifetime of a species, on the order of a million years, longer-term temperature changes—changes in climate—come into play." (Kolbert 100)
- last 40 million years earth has been in cooling phase
-35 million years ago global temp went down enough to form glaciers
- warming today is happening 10 times faster and at the end of all those glaciations that preceded it.

Chapter IX: Islands on dry land
- currently 50 million square miles on land are ice free
-27 million square miles converting it to cropland and pasture
- remaining 23 million square miles about 3/5 are covered by forests
-There is an “urban” anthrome that stretches over five hundred thousand square miles, an “irrigated cropland” anthrome
-islands,that are created by fluctuating sea levels, have consistently found that they are less diverse
than the continents they once were part of.
-smaller areas = smaller population
- islands poor in species = less diverse, depauperate.
-BDFFP result of collaboration b/n cattlemen and conservationists
-program subsidized deforestation
-BDFFP has been called “the most important ecological experiment ever done.”
-"divide the world up into “anthromes.” There is an “urban” anthrome that stretches over
five hundred thousand square miles, an “irrigated cropland” anthrome (a million square
miles), and a “populated forest” (four and a half million square miles). " (Kolbert 110)

Environmental unit- Research paper
Topic sentence
Clearly stated on the environmental problem
Example: The rapid decline of the bee population in the United States poses a serious threat to the global agriculture.
Reminders:
-Write in 3rd person
-Get to the point
-use powerful vocabulary
-make sure you answer the "why"
Concrete Detail #1
Must immediately back up your topic sentence with evidence
Example: A fact sheet released by the White House states that "honey bees enable the productioon of at least 90 commercially grown crops in North America. Globally, 87 of the leading 115 food crops evaluated are dependent on animal pollinators, contributing 35% of global food production" ( Office of the press secretary).
Reminders:
- Introduce your quote and highlight the credibility of your source
- Include an MLA in-text citation. Authors last name then title of webpage
Commentary
Min 2-3 sentences that pull your research apart to show how research supports topic sentence
Example: United states agriculture depends heavily on pollinators, like bees, for production. The decline in the bee population will make it challenging to cultivate 90 commercially grown crops that depend on honey bees for production. Because the United States ships food and produce all over the world, the decline in the bee population in the United States negatively impacting food security across the globe.
Developing discussion of the problem
Concrete detail #2: second quote from your research, should continue establishing problem.
Commentary #2: 2-3 sentences about how it supports topic sentence
Conclusion: Wrap up paragraph and restate main points and transition into next paragraph

Fahrenheit 451
Day 1Characters
Claim- Montag is ignorant
evidence- ‘Is it true that long ago firemen put fires out instead of going to start them?’ ‘No. Houses have always been fireproof, take my word for it’”(Bradbury 8).
Reason- Within this, the reader can depict Montags response as lack of knowledge when Clarisse is discussing the past of fireman and the past of the purpose of fireman.
Montag- Ignorant, firefighter, smug, strong,
Setting
Claim-Takes place during the fall season
evidence- "He walked out of the fire station and along the midnight street toward the subway where the silent, air-propelled train slid soundlessly down its lubricated flue in the earth and let him out with a great puff of warm air onto the cream-tiled escalator rising to the suburb,” (Bradbury 4).
Reason- In the first quote, the narrator describes Montag leaving the fire station and an air-propelled train is mentioned, we can infer from that information that this is a futuristic setting since air-propelled trains are not a thing in this day. In our second quote, the narrator purposefully mentions that the smell outside is like a strawberry smell, then states that its too late in the year for that. This tells us that it must be closer to winter time since it is not possible to be growing any kind of fruits now. The setting also seems like some kind of dystopian, by what the third quote states, it is legal and encouraged to burn books, but not to read them, which means they are probably in a government controlled community that discourages the spread of knowledge.
Figurative Language
Claim- Ray Bradbury uses figurative language
Evidence- “He strode in a swarm of fireflies” Visual Imagery
Reason- Bradbury uses personification to make comparisons and give sensory details to aid the reader's interpretation of the story and of specific images or “ideas”.
Day 2
Motifs
- Continuing theme throughout the book
#1 motif- Nature imagery- Mechanical hound
In Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 the reoccurring theme throughout the novel thus far is nature imagery, to foreshadow the lost connection of nature and humanity to technology and machines.
#2 motif- Lack of knowledge of history- fireman
In Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury the reoccurring theme throughout the novel this far is the absurdity of knowledge of the past.
Role of technology in society
Claim: Afraid of technology
Evidence:‘’That's why,’ said Montag, ‘I wouldn't want to be it's next victim.’”(27)
Reason:After the robotic hound attacked Montag, he discussed the incident with his captain, Beatty. Beatty compared the hound to a rifle, accurate and deadly. This makes Montag scared of the hound, he knows that it could easily kill him. What scared him anymore is when Beatty says that the hound only thinks what they want them to think. However, if nobody would want to kill him, then no one could have programmed the dog. This means that he does have enemies, which is unlikely, or the dog has began to think for itself. This is likely, as the dog is as close to alive as possible without actually being alive. It has amino acids in it, parts of DNA, the building block of life. This means that it could change, have mutations, and can begin to learn and have emotions, instead of being an impassive robot. This is cause for fear, as the robots could possibly be learning and changing to go against humanity.
Themes
Claim: Disconnection between people
Evidence: "The others would walk off and leave me me talking. Or threatening me. No one has time for anyone else" (Bradbury 17)
Reason: Clarisse compares Montag to the other firemen saying he actually listens and pays attention to what she has to say, while the others ignore her because she is ‘odd,’ she then goes on to mention how no one has time for anyone anymore.
Conformity Vs comformity
claim In Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 the most apparent nonconformity is when Guy Montag steals a book from the house in which he is sent to burn to the ground, and then sneaks it into his home when he is aware of the law forbidding books to be read.
An example of conformity when Montag was asked if he ever read the books that he burned, and he laughed and stated that reading the books was illegal.
Evidence “His hands had been infected, and soon it would be his arms. He could feel the poison working up his wrists and into his elbows and his shoulders, and then the jump-over from shoulder-blade to shoulder-blade like a spark leaping a gap. His hands were ravenous. And his eyes were beginning to feel hunger, as if they must look at something, anything, everything”(Bradburry 41).
”Do you ever read the books that you burn?” He laughed. “That’s against the law!” (Bradbury 8)
Reason When Montag steals the book from the burning house, he feels the sensation of potentially gaining a new perspective when reading this book. However, knowing that he can be thrown into an asylum, he feels the hunger of curiosity that the book obtains
Montag shows signs of conformity by not reading books because the government says that it’s bad while Clarisse, the girl asking the question, shows signs of nonconformity by questioning the rules and the norms set by the government.
Characters
Claim After Montag and the rest of the fireman witnessed the woman's burn, Montag started to change his mindset on books.
Evidence He stumbled toward the bed and shoved the book clumsily under the cold pillow” (Bradbury 41)
Reasoning After burning that woman's house everyone is starting to question why Montag was hesitant about burning the books. Montag now has a certain interest in books and it is started to change the way he perceives books and possibly his job. Since Montag took a book home, he is risking getting in trouble for satisfying his interest in book
Futuristic/ Dystopian genre
Claim: Bradburry shows insight to a dystopian society by using key details about technology
Evidence: ”He walked out of the fire station and along the midnight street toward the subway where the silent, air-propelled train slid soundlessly down its lubricated flue in the earth and let him out with a great puff of warm air onto the cream-tiled escalator rising to the suburb.” (pg.4)
“The other machine was operated by an equally impersonal fellow in non-stainable reddish-brown overalls. This machine pumped all of the blood from the body and replaced it with fresh blood and serum.” (pg. 29)
Reasoning: These quotes show new forms of technology that we are not familiar with today. The airtrain is clearly a more advanced version of the train that we have today. This gives us the idea that the society in the novel is more technologically advanced and in the future. The fact that
Day 4
Bradbury uses Language tension, suspense, mystery surprise
The language tension would be used to hook in the reader because if I read something suspenseful I would want to keep reading.
Claim Montag is using mysterious language when Beatty, or so depicted in page 67, is at the door of Montag’ s home and alluding to the potential of Beatty breaking down the door and harming him and and his wife.
Evidence “‘Guy!’ The front door voice called softly... ‘It can’t ne him!’”(Bradbury 67).
Motifs
Claim Objects are often referred to as animals.
Evidence“There sat Beatty, perspiring gently, the floor littered with swarms of black moths that died in a single storm.” (where did this come from?)
Reasoning These moths are really the ashes of the books. It gives imagery of moths, because moths wings are often papery and uneven. Also, these moths have black wings, further showing the connection to ashes and moths.
Setting
Claim- This novel takes place in a dystopian society during the fall.
cloudy all the time opposite of summertime.
Summer would set a whole different tone in the book.
Evidence- Under the door-sill, a slow, probing sniff, an exhalation of electric steam.
Mildred laughed. "It's only a dog, that's what!” (pg. 72 )
Reasoning- Mildred is casually telling Montag to ignore the dog outside. The odd part seems to be the fact that this dog is mechanical and wired. In our current society we consider dogs to be supportive and loving. This dog, and other ones mentioned in the book seem to be 100% machines and have not thoughts of their own and no emotional intelligence. This is just one example that gives us insight to the Dystopian society they live in.
Day 5
Day 6
Futuristic/ Dystopian genre
Montag and Faber are trying to fix their society. In this society they want peace but all there is, is war.
Figurative language
The author makes his characters make allusions to books to demonstrate their education and personality.
“Old Montag wanted to fly near the sun and now that he's burnt his damn wings, he wonders why.” (Bradbury, 113).
Role of technology in society
Technology results of a society that has embraced entertainment over knowledge.
Day 6
Futuristic/ Dystopian genre
Montag and Faber are trying to fix their society. In this society they want peace but all there is, is war.
“... you musn’t go back to being just a fireman. All isn’t well in the world!”(Bradbury 104.)
“... If there was no war, if there was peace in the world, i’d say fine,have fun!” (Bradbury 104)
Figurative language
The author makes his characters make allusions to books to demonstrate their education and personality.
“Old Montag wanted to fly near the sun and now that he's burnt his damn wings, he wonders why.” (Bradbury, 113).
Role of technology in society
Technology results of a society that has embraced entertainment over knowledge.
"It’s not books you need, it’s some of the things that once were it books ... The same infinite detail and awareness could be projected through radios and televisors, but are not." (Bradbury, 78).

TASTE TEST 10/7/16
BUTTER #1-softer, white, more natural taste
BUTTER#2- hard to spread, sticks to the knife a lot, very yellow, stronger buttery taste, very salty
YOGURT#1- smells rotten milk, thick consistency,
YOGURT#2- thin, very sour, watery
Claim:
The difference between the butter is that butter #1 is from Clover and its just a slated organic butter with three ingredients. Butter number 2 is from Kerrygold its pure Irish butter this company also uses milk from grass fed cows and has two ingredients. I think the better one is the the organic fed cows because the grass may contain pesticides.
The difference between the yogurts is that the "Maple Hill" yogurt number 2 has no added sugar and has whole milk from grass fed cows, The "Nancy organic" yogurt number 1 also has no sugar added but uses fresh organic whole milk from cows on family farms. I think that how a cows are fed makes a difference on how the milk comes out.

RIGHT PICTURE - Yogurt #1 (on left)= Nancy Organic Yogurt
LEFT PICTURE- Butter #1(closer to the bread at the bottom of picture)= Clover Organic Butter
Butter #2( at the top left corner of the picture labeled with a pink sticky note #2)= Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter
" If beef or a dairy product is labeled “grass-fed,” it came from cows exclusively fed grass, hay and forage. No grains were included in the mix. It’s possible that pesticides were used on the grasses or hay, and it’s also possible that cows were given antibiotics or hormones. Grass-fed does not mean organic."
