The Birds Part II

Light and dark, hopeful happiness or dejected despair, stunted ideas, or inspired imagination, all descriptors of our "Nightingale" and how Keats created a variegated tone and strategies to define his conflicts in a state of perpetual philosophical crux. At this point, you have both the Skylark and Nightingale poems ready for writing, which you will be doing in the form of a group box prompt next time around.

Since time was not conducive today for the box prompt, we fast-forwarded to pathos, noting the emotional reactions of photographs and advertisements. This was not just for fun or to balance the seriousness of Shelley & Keats, it was to put you into the mindset of a presenter and how to create pathos in your audience. I guess that means you will be working on that task very shortly! Looking forward to this year's rhetorical appeals presentations. AP Lang has had some memorable, interactive presentations in the past that I'm sure will be challenged by your creativity!
