Romantic Elements and Rhetorical Devices Romanticism Project Name: Sarah Cho Title of Literature Piece: The Civil Disobedience Author of Piece: Henry David Thoreau Remember to use four different elements. Romantic Element Looks backward on the wisdom of the past--distrusts progress (intuition) Places central importance on the emotions and the individual (Inner Experience) Explanation In the Civil Disobedience, Thoreau shows that the government is used in a wrong way, and is created by men. Since America was using slavery although tried to represent freedom and equality, Thoreau believed that there was disrust in the direction the American civilization is taking. Also, he thought that America was loosing its republican virtue. In the Civil Disobedience, Thoreau places importance on the individual because he believes that human are conscience while the government are not. Also, he believes that individual should react due to conscience, to stop the government from being corrupt. Remember to use two different rhetorical devices! Rhetorical Device Counterclaim Explanation People say that it could be better to vote or just stay quiet, but Thoreau states that voting is just wishing, but not making any changes. Also, staying quiet goes against the human’s conscience to stand up for themselves. Thus, the government is inherently corrupt with the society and that there is no way to make changes unless it is his way: Civil Disobedience. Title of Art Piece: The Narrows, New York Bay Author of Piece: Thomas Birch Remember to use four different elements. Romantic Element (Innocence)Prefers youthful innocence to educated sophistication Explanation In this artwork, Thomas Birch uses the cows to show the innocence of humans when they are in nature. Animals are innocent in society, because they are living under the natural environment, and are peaceful and harmonious in their natural environment. Romantic Element Finds beauty and truth in exotic locales, the supernatural realm, and the inner world of the imagination (Inspiration) Explanation In this artwork, the light is used in two ways. One is in the background, and the other is used as a spotlight. The one in the background shines on the river and ships, which is industrialization. However, the nature side is dark because society then believes that nature is wild. The spotlight is shining on the cows and nature, which symbolizes God’s existence in nature. This means that supernatural elements exist in nature. Remember to use two different rhetorical devices!
