Quotation by Cesar Chavez

“If you are outraged at Conditions, then you can’t possibly be free or happy until you devote all your time to changing them and do nothing but that. But you can’t change anything if you want to hold onto a good job, a good way of life and avoid sacrifice.”

SPA EXAM

Remember 

Take a position Pro or Con
(For or against) and stick with it!  Use counterargument/claim to express the opposition side (Other’s may think that…)

Write a clear assertion/thesis statement that you can back up with evidence from the texts: Facts, examples, data, and statistics that are in the text. Remember you must cite evidence from at least 2 different places to get a passing score!

In your body paragraphs where you prove that your position is correct remember the pattern is say, mean, matter for every quote and explanation!

Don’t forget to restate your thesis/assertion and provide a counterargument and rebuttal in your conclusion!

Denotation is the dictionary definition of a word. Connotations are the meanings and associations with a word that go beyond the dictionary definition.  Words with similar dictionary definitions may have different connotations.

The example from your book:
Determined has a positive connotation, whereas pig-headed or stubborn have a negative connotation.
