  4. Which is it? metonymy or synecdoche • For example, when Shakespeare had Antony say in Julius Caesar: “Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears” he was speaking figuratively of the thing the ears contained — that is, their function, their ability to listen, not some literal component. • metonymy • An image of an angry wife about to bash hubby over the head with a bottle of Grade A, saying “Get away from me or I’ll hit you with the milk”. • That’s metonymy all right, • but you can argue it’s also synecdoche, because milk is an essential component part of a bottle of milk, not just something associated with it.

Great. All I need is a couple of suits arriving at my door.

  19. synecdoche  si-nek'-do-kee Gk. "to take with something else“ Source:http://rhetoric.byu.edu • A whole is represented by naming one of its parts (genus named for species), or vice versa (species named for genus).   • Examples: • The rustler bragged he'd absconded with five hundred head of longhorns.Both "head" and "longhorns" are parts of cattle that represent them as wholes • Listen, you've got to come take a look at my new set of wheels. • One refers to a vehicle in terms of some of its parts, "wheels" • "He shall think differently," the musketeer threatened, "when he feels the point of my steel." • A sword, the species, is represented by referring to its genus, "steel"

  20. Chapter 7 gender: rhetoric and style • 1. framing – intro, conclusion and throughout. The ethos of the novel supported by the author – opening closing cohesion. Paragraph 5 = time period. • 2. Concession – refutation approach ( a model for your counter-argument model, he is a Harvard prof, so my expectations are not as high but a model for you…if you are thinking Ivy League) he must be careful in his attacks since he (Gould is a scientist also) “science is an inferential exercise not a catalogue of facts” • Side note on the Broca part of the brain: controls facial neurons controls speech production and understanding of language • 3. paragraph 3 he questions the scientific method only after establishing Broca’s ethos by 8th paragraph Gould concludes: sound numbers but ill-founded interpretation and by paragraph 16 is the point to Gould’s essay: “I would rather label the whole…highly injurious.” • 4. mostly problem with Broca – must quote the sources in order to indict them – there can be no mistaking their position by letting them speak for themselves! – why no quote from Montessori? • 5. like a researcher he shares his new info w/o undercutting his criticism, it shows he is one who continues to learn and expand his knowledge – it adds by making his example stronger, more influential. • 6. logos – multiple regression, not available to 19th cent researchers – it is step-by-step analysis appeals to reason

  21.

  22. How to summarize in writing an argument and why to summarize • why don’t many writers summarize? - Too much trouble/effort - Fear that others’ ideas will detract from their own • Need to mention what a piece is arguing or saying as well as own response • Balance – too much summary and you say nothing can be boring like a list – no focus/purpose • A good summary requires balance of original author and writer’s own voice • Summary is true facts, but identify which facts you wish to focus on in your response – but be balanced while promoting your own points

  23. An effective summary has these traits • Suspend your own beliefs – try to see the arguments from the person’s pov (why I rarely have heated arguments) • “wishy-washy”? Good arguers have the audience wondering which side you are on – agreeing or disagreeing? • Why? Bias will undermine credibility when writing a summary – not for your argument but only for summary – recognize the pov of the author. • 4. keep it concise – but not boring try for pithy • Tell your audience enough about the writer’s arguments so that they might make judgements independent of you

  24. continued • avoid cliché summaries • Listen to what the author is saying – restate that objectively • It should be a conversation – so think, “this is what I think you are saying…then you will go on to your pov. Apply this to the arguments for practice handout – start with David Zinczenko Read, highlight/identify his claims, his warrants and his data – then write a focused summary.
