This was an incredibly thorough piece, th...quinot,<br /><br />This was an incredibly thorough piece, thank you for sharing. I am planning on writing my final paper on this section of Quintillians work, so I really appreciated you interpreting his emphasis on visible acts and pleas and how all this plays out as a performance and embodied within the court room. Within your analysis is the added dimension of the "image" or the use of imagination, which I noticed Quintillian mentioned explicitly as a tool of the good orator. Furthermore, I thought it was a widely encompassing read how you delineated your thesis to be a combination of these bringing about a sort of philosophical discussion, which is something that is always being done by most authors we read in this class. Again, really helpful and clarifying piece for this section of text.<br /><br />I thought that the in depth reading of the words cruel and bare and other distinct words and their latin counterparts went over and above a simply argumentative paper because this gave it authority and credibility, bringing in some pretty convincing evidence and synthesizing a multi-faceted argument <br /><br />One thing I would mention is that although opening the piece by referring to Quintillians chapter as a commemoration provides your readers with nice historical and situational context, it gives off the assumption that thats what your analysis will be about. <br /><br />Thanks again!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11845016882261196308noreply@blogger.com
