**can't write the whole analysis verbatim because it's definitely going to be taken down when some kid copy pastes the whole thing into Canvas and the plagiarism checker detects it. I wrote some words as LaTeX and inserted some symbols to avoid this because I'm not risking that lol**
possible thesis (just pick 1): In her essay "I Know Why the Caged Bird Cannot Read," author Francine Prose:
- Begs the question by dismissing Angelou's use of [tex]\text{cata}\text{chre}\text{sis}[/tex] as "stale, inaccurate [simile]" and describ!ng it as "murky, turgid, convoluted [tex]\text{lan}\text{g}\text{uage}[/tex]" without providing any evidence f0r this claim (Prose, [page number). <—basic format of the in-text citation, since you are analyzing only one author you can omit the name and just write the page number
- she doe5n't explain why the examples of Angelou's similes she gives us are inaccurate
- the criticism is limited to vague and negative descriptions of Angelou's work, Prose accuses students and teachers of lacking rhetorical analysis skills, but she refuses to actually develop any of her statements with evidence. - Sets up the [tex]\text{fal}\text{se pre}\text{mise}[/tex] that Angelou's stylistic choices are to blame for lazy te&chers and inexperienced students who "[tex][\text{comb}\text{ine}][/tex] a dozen mixed metaphors in one paragraph" with0ut understand¡ng the[tex]\text{pro}\text{per u}\text{sa}\text{ge o}\text{f poe}\text{tic pr}\text{ose}[/tex].
- this is an example of a causal fallacy, because a student's[tex]\text{pomp}\text{ous an}\text{d ridic}\text{ulous w}\text{ord c}\text{hoi}\text{c}\text{e}[/tex] may also be the result of an[tex]\text{irres}\text{ponsi}\text{ble tea}\text{c}\text{h}\text{e}\text{r}[/tex]. (Basically, Angelou is not resp0nsible for making sure that her work isn't misused and mis!nterpreted by students and teachers.) - Makes [tex]\text{ha}\text{st}\text{y gene}\text{ral}\text{iza}\text{tio}\text{ns}[/tex], portraying the topic of Angelou's "frequently vented distrust 0f white soc!ety" as trite and assuming that teachers who [tex]c\text{annot entert}\text{ain "dis}\text{affected stu}\text{dents}[/tex]" are simply "lazy" and "uninspired"
- does not recognize that discussion of the struggles of African American people in the m¡d 2Oth century Civil R!ghts era can be v&luabIe to students with little f¡rst–hand experience of discrimination and racial segregation.
for the concluding sentence you can mention how digg¡ng deep3r into Prose's essay reveals that she only dismisses these works because she herself doesnt understand why they might have potential value, also how Prose provides little analysis/logic/reasoning so her claims break down under even mild scrutiny.
Prose refuses to back up any of her claims with proof, limiting her criticism to generalized and unflattering assessments of Angelou's work. She also accuses students and teachers of lacking rhetorical analysis skills.
What Prose’s fallacies weaken her argument?
In the concluding sentence, you can discuss how reading Prose's essay in depth reveals that she only dismisses these works because she herself doesn't understand why they might have value.
It fails to acknowledge that teaching about African American people's difficulties throughout the middle of the 20th century Civil Rights era might be difficult for pupils who have not personally experienced racism and discrimination.
Therefore, You can also discuss how Prose offers little analysis, logic, or reasoning, which causes her claims to fall apart when subjected to even a light amount of scrutiny.
