1. paragraph 4 of this essay includes Kelly Coryell’s “they say” and “I say” statements. Paraphrase these statements and describe how the writer makes clear which statement is the “they say” and which the “I say”.
2. What evidence and arguments does the author use in support of her position regarding the phrases “all lives matter” and “Black lives matter”?
3. The essay does not contain explicit responses to “so what?” and “who cares?” questions that explain why Coryell’s arguments matter and for whom. See if you can construct these explanatory statements. Where in the essay would you insert them to best effect, and why?
4. The author quotes from a number of published works to develop her argument. Pick the quotation that you think offers the strongest support, and discuss how Coryell lays the groundwork for it beforehand and how she explains it afterward, a process described in chapter 3 as the quotation sandwich.
ways language can be used as a tool for suppression in his New York Times opinion piece “The Ways of Silencing.” Stanley writes, “Words are misappropriated and meanings twisted. I believe that these tactics are. . . . if you will, linguistic strategies for stealing the voices of others.” In other words, a group can be silenced if the language vital to their ability to express themselves and their beliefs is co-opted by another group. Supporters of “all lives matter” co-opted the language of the BLM movement, forcing a separation between the two phrases. As a result, BLM activists cannot say “all lives matter” without sounding like they oppose the views of the BLM movement, since “all lives matter” is no longer just a phrase but a rebuttal—a counterargument. Represents objections fairly. Saying “all lives matter” is premature, since it presupposes that equality has already been achieved. If Black lives really did matter as much as white lives in American society, then saying so would be as uncontroversial as stating any other fact. In fact, America is not a postracial society: poverty, education, health, incarceration rates—all are unequal between different races in America. We must acknowledge this ugly truth if we are ever going to change it. “All lives matter” invokes a naive reality in which all races are holding hands in a great big circle, singing “This Land Is Your Land” as the sun smiles down on the world. “All lives matter,” like the statement “I don’t see race, I just see people,” may, at first, seem like a beautiful sentiment. Those who say such things may truly do so with the intent of creating a world where everyone is treated equally—regardless of race, gender, creed, orientation, and so on. But upon close examination, these phrases—however well-meaning—are harmful because, aside from robbing people of their racial identities, they ignore race-based discrimination. How can one notice racism when one does not “see race”? How can one point out discrimination against African Americans if the only response one gets is “everyone matters”? If one insists that a goal has already been met when it hasn’t, why would anyone put in more effort toward reaching that goal? This is why “all lives matter” is so manipulative and damaging. It’s an attempt to convince us we don’t
have to keep reaching for equality and justice, even though every fact around us tells us this is far from the case. Only by consciously acknowledging racial inequality will we ever be able to put an end to it. The root of “all lives matter” boils down to one thing: privilege, and the reluctance to give it up in the name of equality. As Chris Boeskool puts it: “Equality can feel like oppression. But it’s not. What you’re feeling is just the discomfort of losing a little bit of your privilege.” Evening the playing field can feel like a bad thing to the person benefiting from the imbalance. In the 1960s, a white bus rider may have felt oppressed when she started having to compete with Black bus riders for the front seat—she lost the privilege of getting a guaranteed front seat because of her race. In the 1970s, a man might have complained that he could no longer “compliment” his female coworkers without them accusing him of sexual harassment—he lost the privilege of being able to say offensive things because of his gender. If American society starts to accept that Black lives matter as much as white lives, white Americans will lose some of the privileges afforded to them as a result of the oppression of Black Americans. Therefore, people who either do not realize they have this privilege, or people who simply don’t want to give it up, chant “all lives matter” in an effort to hold on to that privilege. If the BLM movement is silenced, the status quo of racial inequality will be maintained. The privileged must resist this unethical temptation and not mistake oppression as equality.

Using “all lives matter” as a response to “Black lives matter” perpetuates the misconception that BLM activists do not believe both sentiments. The core of the BLM movement is the belief that all lives matter —including Black lives, which are treated differently than white lives, not just by law enforcement but America as a whole. As J. Clara Chan explains in her article “What Is ‘All Lives Matter’? A Short Explainer”: BLM supporters stress that the movement isn’t about believing no other races matter. Instead, the movement seeks to highlight and change how racism disproportionately affects the

You will analyze three panels from the graphic novel by writing three (3) paragraphs, using quotes as evidence for each. Use the C-Q-C (Claim-Quote-Commentary) format to provide your paragraphs:
Claim: a topic sentence or a main idea that can be proven true with supporting evidence.
Context / Quote: a lead-in or introduction to a quote (speaker, occasion), followed by a direct quote from the text, cited by page number in parentheses.
Commentary: a statement of analysis, discussing the significance of the quote and its connection to the claim or main idea.
Example C-Q-C:
In the first panel of the novel, comic artist Art Spiegelman depicts himself as a weak, undersized skater in order to show his young self as needing validation and acceptance. The much larger leader of the group, Howie, says, “Last one to the schoolyard is a rotten egg.” That “rotten egg” later symbolizes how Arties feels after he talks to his father, who, as a guilt-ridden Holocaust survivor, dismisses the need for “friends” and his son’s feelings.
Note
: you may use more than one sentence of commentary after the quote.

5. Which statement about Gregor is best supported by the following passage (paragraph 5)? ‘This getting up early,’ he thought, ‘makes a man quite idiotic. A man must have his sleep. Other traveling salesmen live like harem women. For instance, when I come back to the inn during the course of the morning to write up the necessary orders, these gentlemen are just sitting down to breakfast. If I were to try that with my boss, I’d be thrown out on the spot. Still, who knows whether that mightn’t be really good for me. If I didn’t hold back for my parents’ sake, I would’ve quit ages ago. I would’ve gone to the boss and told him just what I think from the bottom of my heart. He would’ve fallen right off his desk! How weird it is to sit up at the desk and talk down to the employee from way up there. The boss has trouble hearing, so the employee has to step up quite close to him. Anyway, I haven’t completely given up that hope yet. Once I’ve got together the money to pay off the parents’ debt to him— that should take another five or six years—I’ll do it for sure. Then I’ll make the big break. In any case, right now I have to get up. My train leaves at five o’clock.’

Abc Read the excerpt from Julius Caesar, act 3, scene 2. Which paraphrase of the passage is the best? [BRUTUS.] If then that friend demand why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer: it is not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were living, and die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live and die as free men? As Caesar loved me, I weep for him. As he was fortunate, I rejoice at it. But as he was ambitious, I slew him. O Brutus asks the people of Rome if they would rather have Caesar alive and they all be slaves, or have Caesar dead so they can live freely. O Brutus explains that he loved Caesar but loves Rome more. O Brutus clarifies that he rose against Caesar not because he did not love Caesar, but because he loved.
