Class #8 Review and Reminders

Excellent questions today. We will use that format more in the future, I think.

IMPORTANT REVISION TO PAPER PROMPT:

In talking with you each individually, I've decided that I really don't see the point of section 3 of the prompt as currently phrased. So we will approach it somewhat differently. We will call section 3 "rhetoric" rather than "organization." Your concern in section 1 is where E is coming from, your concern in section 2 is what E says, in section 4 you can draw any number of comparisons between what he says and what one of the other speakers says, but your concern in section 3 is how he says what he says. Organization is one such how, but there could be others. Does he, for instance, make jokes like Aristophanes and Alcibiades? Does he hop up and down on one foot? Does he favor particular types of arguments over others. Etc.

REMINDERS:

-bring an unmarked copy of your essay to class
-read Guide 29-35 and do Descartes exercise, Ghandi exercise, and Turtle exercise
-Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics for Friday (Book I, Chapters 4, 5, 7, 8, and 13; Book II, Chapters 1, 5, 6, and 7; Book III, Chapters 6, 7, 8)
