Pay teachers more
Written by Nicholas D. Kristof
Published on 3/12/11
This written piece is about why teachers are important and that they should get paid more. He uses literary techniques such as diction, language, and imagery to craft his narrative persona and a “voice”. Diction is among the choices that Kristof uses to craft his narrative persona and a voce. He states that the many teachers are “brilliant”, which generates the positive feeling toward the teachers. In addition, Kristof calls people who think that teachers are overpaid “avaricious, incompetents”. This word clearly makes readers think negative things about those people. For he used convincing diction, he was able to create persuasive persona and a strong voice about raising salaries for teachers. “
Not throwing darts at them” is what Kristof suggests that American should not do to teachers. Obviously, it is figurative language. However, by using imagery, he was able to make readers feel sympathy toward the teachers, definitely not making them feel like throwing darts at them by lowering teachers’ salaries. For he uses strong imagery, he was able to create persuasive persona and a strong voice about raising salaries for teachers. Kristof uses the term “nibble away” to describe the government’s attempt to lower teachers’ salaries in order to stable the economy. By using personification, people can imagine government actually being the animals and eating the salaries of teachers, thus generating the negative feelings toward the government.
By using language, Kristof was able to create persuasive narrative persona and a strong voice for not lowering salaries for teachers. Because he uses some of the literary techniques effectively and voice effectively, I buy his opinion; He convinced me that teachers are important in our society, and that teachers have a huge role in determining generations’ future. To aid teachers, I too believe that we have to pay teachers more.
This written piece would not be appropriate for AP English essay for it uses 2nd person point of view such as “you” and “we”, which is considered informal. Beside this, I laud Kristof for using literary techniques effectively to persuade readers to support teachers.

Pass.
답글삭제You really need to edit these: "it is figurative language, not literally". "Literally" is an adVERB not and adJECTIVE.
PASS. Again, same as Dan. Just proof these and they'll be good. Details like grammar will make a difference on the AP test.
답글삭제Pass. I definitely agree with Meg and Dan that you have all the right ideas you just need to go back after you finish writing and proofread it.
