Journal Entry-Febraury 15, 2008

Aim: What is rhetoric and how important is it to protest?
Do Now: Select one of the literary works discussed and analyzed in class and give reasons why this work can be considered the best work that represents protest literature.
Resoponse: I believe that the best literary work that represents protest literature is "America" by james Monroe Whitfield because the Speaker explains how he was taken form his very own homeland to work as a slave when he said "To teare the black man from his soil and force him here to delve and toil". The speaker also empahsizes in this same line ghow salvery is misery and thus protest in this work of literature to slavery.
