Reading Response Journal
Click here to view my RRJ via Scribd.com.
During the third quarter of the year, our teacher asked us to choose a classic novel to read and complete a reading response journal. I chose John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men. Reading with “rhetorical eyes,” I scoured the novel for rhetorical devices. Interestingly, even though the book was fiction, I found many rhetorical devices within the novel.
