REHUGO Analysis- Essay
A. "In Search of the Good Family"- author: Jane Howard
B. In this essay the author's main point is to tell how family is a special kind of relationship. Family is better than friendship. He talks about how it is human nature to have someone caring for you like parents and a child. He compares our lifes today with early civilization and tribes and how neither of us can live alone.
C. Through out most of the story Howard appeals to pathos. He talks about how people care about eachother and need eachother to survive. He gets to peoples hearts by relating to them and talking about how they need eachother to have a normal life.
Another example the author uses is a comparison when he compares how we live today to how they lived before in clans. In paragraph one it says that clans and networks and tribes are all related to families.
D. Through out this essay they use a lot of repititions. One example of this had to do with the tribes. Another example of this is towards the middle of the essay it repeats the sayinf "good families" to keep all the different ideas together and emphisize the points.
Also in this essay the author uses alot of comparisons. One example of this is calling the family a support system. And also again, it uses comparisons with tribes and clans and how our families today are like how clans and tirbes were before.

Letter A, use of "lifes" - should be lives.
ReplyDeleteFYI - the author is a she, you keep saying he.
Letter D, you say they, but there is one author.
you describe stuff but with not a lot of evidence, dig a littler deeper, be precise.
