Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 12 AIL 1103 short lesson, about 20 seconds
The Anchor's Eight Chapters
Captions available
The idea
The anchor devotes eight chapters to rhetorical modes: argument, cause and effect, compare and contrast, examples, extended definition, narrative, and process. That is generous coverage, and it was written to teach a student to produce essays rather than to read them.
In practice
Eight chapters, written for writers.
Where people slip
Written to produce, not to analyse.
