Complete the SOAPSTone handout for Man on Wire. (If you misplaced yours or you missed class, it is posted to the right.) Then, on the reverse side of the handout, make connections between these broad categories and your specific observations of the documentary. In particular, answer the following question: Why tell this story of Philippe Petit's adventure at "the top of the world"? (As we discussed in class, whenever you're writing about rhetoric, be mindful of the unstated, implied question—What I'm really asking is, Why tell this story in this way? That latter, "in this way" part of the question is how you'll incorporate the observations you recorded on the note-taking sheet.)
I'd prefer that you hand write your response on the back of the sheet given out in class, but you may type your answer if you prefer. If you do type it, do not write more than two pages.
