Below are the types of scholarly behaviors that will help you be prepared to write a well-organized and depthful in-class timed Midterm Essay next Wednesday.
- Collect evidence (Write down relevant quotes, with page numbers) for what Anthony Bourdain says about others.
- Note down places where you see him persuading you (Ethos, Pathos, Logos) as to how he feels. Work on explaining how you interpret Bourdain's feelings/ideas by answering these questions:
- What does he focus on in his description of others?
- How does he describe them? What type of language does he use? Key words?
- Collect evidence for Bourdain's own flaws and how they impacted him
- Collect evidence that shows 'the opposite of a flaw'
- Start making organizational decisions about which chapters are most relevant--which chapters or excerpts are most worth your time (because of the amount of evidence you find)
- Start summarizing the patterns into ideas in your notes
- Use a two- or three-column note chart to help you organize your ideas
