Assignment for Wednesday, Oct. 3

In William Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 1, read Act 1, scenes 1 and 2 (pp. 4-16).  While you're reading, pay attention to anything that stand out rhetorically. Then, identify a passage at least five lines in length (it could involve more than one character) and email to me a few sentences about what makes it rhetorically interesting. If you can, write about both the rhetorical effect and the meaning generated by the passage, but that might be hard to do at this stage. Be sure to identify the act, scene, and lines you are writing about.
