Scribe post 8/26: Lead-outs

lead outs:

• describes thinking of narrator 
• doesn't just explain quote but goes back to thesis
• multiple sentence (2-3)

Lead outs have essentially 2 purposes

1. To explain WHY you chose the quote. WHY is it interesting? Important? significant?
2. To explain how it connects with your thesis and topic sentences. HOW does it further your argument.

Point 1 furthered:
1. Diction

• words that seem out of place
• Interesting verb choices
• words that are particularly evocative

2. Symbols

• Words/Ideas that have a secondary, deeper meaning.

3. Syntax

• How did the author structure his/her sentence? how does it differ from other sentences in the piece

Point 2 furthered:
Thesis connect samples:

This passage illustrates that...
