Advanced 8th Grade English OL v2 B -- Weaver, Erin / Module 8: Stand and Deliver
1. What can readers learn about human nature - or people in general - by reading Anne Frank's diary?
By reading Anne Frank's diary, readers can learn about the resilience of the human spirit, the impact of discrimination and persecution on individuals, the strength of hope in the face of adversity, and the longing for freedom and understanding. It provides insight into the experiences, feelings, and aspirations of people during the darkest and most brutal period of World War II in history.
3. Choose one passage from
The Diary of a Young Girl
to analyze using your perspective and experiences.
Describe the passage and make an analytical claim about the passage that you can support with evidence from the text. An analytical claim is a sentence that states what you think is true about a work of literature, based on the evidence you see in the text.
(Hint: this is like a mini-literature analysis.)
Phrase: "I don't want to live in vain like most people. I want to be useful or pleasant to everyone I've never met. I want to continue living after I die!" (July 15, 1944)
Analytical Argument: This passage reveals Anne Frank's profound longing for purpose and the eternal human longing for a meaningful existence. Through her words, Anne expresses her desire to transcend her circumstances and make a positive impact on others. The evidence in the text underscores her determination to make lasting change, highlighting the journal's enduring relevance as a source of inspiration for readers today.
4. What is the difference between reasoning and rhetoric as persuasive devices?
Include an example of each to help with your comparison.
Reasoning and rhetoric are separate devices of persuasion. Reasoning refers to
the use of logical arguments and evidence to persuade an audience, while rhetoric involves the use of language and techniques of persuasion to appeal to emotions and sway opinions.
Reasoning Example: "Research shows that regular exercise improves cardiovascular health. So incorporating exercise into your daily routine may reduce your risk of heart disease."
Example rhetoric: "Imagine a world where every child has access to quality education. Together, we can make this dream a reality by supporting educational
initiatives and investing in the future of our youth."
6. Reflect on the differences between your persuasive essay and your persuasive speech. What was different and what was the same? What aspects did you struggle with and what aspects felt natural to you? Include specific examples.
Considering the difference between a persuasive essay and a persuasive speech, you can see that essays allow for more detailed explanations and the use of complex arguments, while speeches require concise and impactful language to engage the audience. In my essay, I struggled with finding the right balance between presenting evidence and maintaining a persuasive tone. But in

speeches, emotional appeal and vivid language made it easier to connect with the audience and make my points more memorable. What was difficult in my essays was expressing complex ideas concisely, whereas in speeches, engaging the audience's emotions came more naturally because I could measure their reactions in real time and adjust my delivery accordingly.
