Double Negatives

• (take notes IN p63)

• double negatives: sentences or phrases in which two negative words are used two negatives = one positive (negatives cancel

each other out)

• negative words start with “n”—no, not, n’t, never, none, no one,

nothing, nobody, nowhere hardly, barely, scarcely

Double Negatives

• (take notes IN p63)

• Why use them? stress opinions trick people *evil grin*

• “I’m not going to give you no homework tonight”• “So you don’t want to give me no money?”

• How to fix? remove one of the negatives replace with a positive word instead

Double Negatives

• I’ll never go to no Badgers games again. I’ll never go to any Badgers games again

• The Badgers don’t know nothing about football! The Badgers don’t know anything about football!

• That star player allows hardly no one to get in his way. That star player allows hardly any one to get in

his way.

Double Negatives

• under notes on IN p63

• Copy 5 sentences on p174 If double negative is present, write it correctly If no double negative present, write as is

Double Negatives

1. Don’t sign nothing until you hear from me. Don’t sign anything until you hear from me.

2. You don’t have enough information. You don’t have enough information.

3. I don’t think you’ll want hardly anything from me. I don’t think you’ll want anything from me.

Double Negatives

4. I didn’t have any idea that he wouldn’t show up. I didn’t have any idea that he would show up

5. It wouldn’t make no difference to me if they cancelled the meeting. It wouldn’t make any difference to me if they

cancelled the meeting.

Appropriate Use: Double Negatives• IN p62

• Write 5 sentences using double negatives appropriately to emphasize an idea or opinion

• Write 5 sentences using double (or more negatives) that might trick someone into agreeing to something. Try them out on your friends and family, see how

they work, report back for extra credit

Evaluating Persuasive Appeals• Complete worksheet

While working, have IN open to 56 & 57 for stamping

• Glue to p65

Evaluating Persuasive Appeals• I know of no way of judging of the future but by

the past Reason The line suggests that listeners act in the present

based on past experience. It makes a generalization that it asks listeners to apply to a specific case.

Evaluating Persuasive Appeals• I ask gentlemen, sir, what means this martial

array, if its purpose be not to force us to submission? Can gentlemen assign any other possible motive for it? Reason and emotion While terms such as “martial array” and

“submission” are charged with emotion, the basic argument presented in these sentences appeals to reason.

Evaluating Persuasive Appeals• Our petitions have been slighted; our

remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned with contempt from the foot of the throne! In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. Reason and emotion Henry presents a great deal of evidence and

then draws a logical conclusion from it, but he also uses charged words like “violence,” “insult,” “supplication,” and “spurned”.

Evaluating Persuasive Appeals• There is a just God who presides over the

destinies of nations and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. Emotion The remark appeals to listeners’ religious faith by

implying that the colonists have God on their side, and it depicts the rebels as loyal friends of the audience and of liberty.

Evaluating Persuasive Appeals• Gentlemen may cry, ‘Peace, peace,’—but there

is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Reason and emotion Henry offers solid reasons to support the

Revolution, but he also uses emotional exclamations and repetition as well as poetic language that imbues nobility in the colonists’ struggle, such as “gale from the north” and “clash of resounding arms”
