Claim
  • Definition A claim states the position that will
    be defended in the essay.
  • What is your claim?
  • War is ennobling.
  • or
  • War is contemptible.

4
Data
  • Definition Data is the evidence the writer
    cites that supports his or her claim.
  • What 3 pieces of evidence from Michael Shaaras
    The Killer Angels support your claim that war is
    either ennobling or contemptible?

5
Warrant
  • Definition The warrant interprets your data,
    showing how the data supports your claim or
    explaining why the data proves your claim.
  • In trials, for example, opposing lawyers often
    agree on the data but dispute the warrants. They
    would argue that the set of data presented proves
    their point rather than the opposing sides
    point.
  • Go back to your data. Make sure you can connect
    each piece of evidence/data to your position on
    war. Those explanations are your warrants.

The Blind Always Come as Such a Surpriseby Ted
Kooser
  • The blind always come as such a
    surprise,suddenly filling an elevatorwith a
    great white porcupine of canes,or coming down
    upon us in a noisy crowdlike the eye of a
    hurricane.The dashboards of cars stopped at
    crosswalksand the shoes of commuters on
    trainsare covered with sentencesstruck down in
    mid-flight by the canes of the blind.Each of
    them changes our lives,tapping across the bright
    circles of our ambitionslike cracks traversing
    the favorite china.

Literary Analysis
Claim
  • This poem uses excellent imagery to depict
  • how blind folks affect our lives, to evoke
    sympathy
  • for the blind, and to criticize mainstream
    America
  • for its callousness towards the disabled. In the
    first
  • three lines Kooser describes how the blind can
  • suddenly fill an elevator with a great white
    porcupine
  • of canes. A porcupine is noted for its
    prickliness
  • we are apprehensive when it is around and we do
    not
  • want to touch it. The blind person, according to
  • Kooser, evokes a similar reaction their
    presence in a
  • situation causes prickliness, and it makes us
  • uncomfortable.

Literary Analysis
  • In Animal Farm, Clover represents a caring and
    motherly figure to the other animals. She talks
    to Mollie, the horse, when others will not. She
    cares about keeping the animals together. She
    isnt mean to Mollie but wants her to understand
    how her decision to leave may affect the farm.
    In addition, Clover warns Boxer to slow down and
    nurses him when he collapses. In her concern for
    him, she models the kind of behavior that the
    animals wanted from Mr. Jones but did not get.
    She sees the injustice of the system and
    understands the punishment of hard work.
    Furthermore, she notices the changes in the Seven
    Commands and in the pigs behavior at the end.
    The knowledge that something is wrong leads her
    to speak out. Her commitment to Animal Farm is
    most important in her mind, and she wants to put
    her beliefs into action. Clover works hard to
    help the other animals, regardless of what might
    happen to her.
