  1. For those who failed to write the full assignment down, here it is:

    "My Mother Never Worked", pp.96

    Find five specific words that influence the tone of the piece.

    Examine each in context, then evaluate in a sentence or two how each word choice works rhetorically.

    Write a summative sentence which analyzes the author's diction.
