For Monday, September 8

First, I want you to peruse the devotional at this link:  http://www.keyway.ca/htm2011/20110211.htm

Now, imagine that you are the leper or the blind person who Jesus touched.  After considering how important touch is to the human being, read and annotate the following article.  See if you agree with the assertions Kearney makes.

This link should put you on the NY Times Opinion Page.  The title of the article is "Losing Our Touch" by Richard Kearney.

Print the article out and annotate.

Which rhetorical appeals does Kearney use and to what effect?  Consider:  diction, imagery, irony, allusion.  Label the rhetorical appeals-to emotion, to character, to logic.  Most importantly-As you highlight an example of a particular strategy...label the strategy and then describe the effect on the reader. 

Your annotations should lend themselves to your argument as to HOW Kearney persuades his readers to his point of view.
