Perspectives on Argument
, you reviewed information concerning argument and literature. When you apply argument theory to the reading of literature, you will be “inside the text” so to speak. For one of your last assignments, you will be analyzing a portion of biblical scripture and within the context of the verses, you will need to practice this method of being inside the text.
Read through the short poem, “To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time” on page 375, Section 13.1 at least twice, trying to identify issues, perspectives, claims, and explicit or implicit arguments.  Read it twice without interpretive help and then look at this analysis:  https://poemanalysis.com/robert-herrick/to-the-virgins-to-make-much-of-time/
What does being inside the text mean? What does getting inside the text accomplish in terms of interpretation? Apply being “inside the text” to the short poem, “To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time” and analyze this poem from an inside the text perspective. Discuss this poem among your peers. Your discussion should exemplify critical thinking skills and promote robust engagement among your peers.

Virtually all of Stanford’s undergraduates live on campus. Write a note to your future roommate that reveals something about you or that will help your roommate – and us – get to know you better.
Ahem…May I make a toast?
First off, I am so eager to live with you. I have a sibling, so living with you will be very interesting! Also, I want to get to know you…
I am inquisitive about how things work, and I love fixing things, so if something breaks while we live together, you will not have to worry about high repair bills. I love going outdoors and socializing, so we will get along very well. If ever you are tired or cannot cook, do not worry because I love trying new food and learning how to cook it to save the same money because college is expensive.
I love playing video games and watching movies or shows in my free time. So if you ever have some good recommendations for movies or shows, I would love to watch some new and exciting movies with you. I have a habit that is very demanded as a roommate, and that would be to keep things clean so you will not have to worry about a messy roommate. As your future roommate, I would love to know more about you, like your hobbies, things you like to do in your free time, what makes you yourself.
Well, I could not be happier to be home with you.
Cheers,
