Analysis Practice
Look at the following sentence from the book:

"I looked around the room and glancing at the window, I saw a part of the sun-drenched courtyard, with the shadow of the roof crossing it obliquely- a boundary between light and dark, a defined boundary without any transition" (Wiesenthal 33).

Think about DIDLS. Let's walk through this sentence carefully, noting commentary that we could make about diction, imagery, details, language, or syntax. Terms: Periodic Sentence Loose Sentence Appositive Phrase Archetype

**Close Reading:**
Re-read the passage on pages 14-15 closely, annotating as you go. Discuss with a partner. What annotations did you make? What stood out to you in this passage? Closely read the passage together as a class.

==‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍Discuss : == What is important about this passage? What is the significance of the sunflower imagery? What does the sunflower symbolize? How does this symbolism make you feel about the soldiers? About the prisoners?

Read and Gather Ideas
Read pg.39-43 aloud. Each person should have paper divided into 3 columns- ethos, pathos, and logos. As we read, students should jot down words, phrases, or statements that appeal to each column. (i.e. "I often gave them something to eat" (40). Ethos)

‍Columns:

 * Ethos- What gives the soldier credibility? Why should Simon not look at him as a monster?
 * Pathos- What is meant to draw an emotional response from the listener (in this case, the Jew the soldier is confiding in)?
 * Logos- How does the soldier logically explain his actions? Can you break down the reasoning?
 * Note- Many statements or ideas may overlap. Some things may serve as more than one type of appeal.

‍Group Practice
Students are divided into 3 groups: Ethos, Pathos, and Logos. Each group will work on a large piece of paper to gather ideas from the text that work for that particular appeal. Groups then briefly present their findings to the class.
