- Also talking about the functions of allusions in fiction.
Clarity v.s Specificity
- Show evidence of close reading.
Specify- Which details matter?
Who? What? When ?
Remove the clutter
Efficiency= Maximum content minimal words.
After we talk about the those notes. we watched a scene from the office a evaluated a scene from Michael.
- we had to say if Michael was specific, clear, or if he was wrong.
my group came to a agreement that he never lies but also was not telling the whole story and hides key details.
- We then went over a paragraph that a professor at Dartmouth college talked about verbs, and how to use them in a essay.
- Reward/Define

We then went over what allusion was
Allusion- reference to something outside.
We then watched the opening scene to Space Odyssey.
and went over the allusion in that.
Outside- Planetary alignment, dramatic Music.
Inside- Dawn of humanity
Auto=space Odyssey.
Dominant audience vs subsidiary
