Questions to answer:
Are there any fresh ideas enlisted in this definition?
How would you have defined this idea? Are there ideas
similar to it that you could choose to define? Not really I think I pretty much covered them all.. when I started reading I first thought of the baseball team and the term for northerners
There are allusions here: (1) to the musical Damn Yankees!, (2) to the
Bible (the parable of the Good Samaritan), and (3) to a poem
by Robert Frost. Do these allusions add anything to the essay or to
your understanding of things? What if you didn't "get" the allusions? I didn’t really get the illusions.. The only thing I recognized what the author Robert Frost.
What techniques of development does the essay use in the process of definition? Do you think the writer dwelt too long on what a Yankee is not before moving on to what a Yankee is? I felt like I was waiting for the answer to the question too long I think it should have spent more time on what a Yankee is vs. what it isn’t.
Can you point to one sentence that functions as thesis
statement in this essay? – “What is a Yankee?”
