What do we do when we read?

Read the text with the purpose of re-telling it. As you read, reflect on what you do.

There are two types of being; the eternal and the transient. The eternal need to

return is not exemplified within the collective drama of history, nor can it be

nurture through organization. Produce as it will, the eternal is not oriented

towards produce. The transient, by its very nature, will end; they want to die, not

live eternally. The struggles and education of man in social history had meaning

for Marx such that the goal of a body politic free from class conflict so that man

might develop as man.

 

Think of some key things you needed to do to read the text.

 


How do you read these words?

prosopopoeia
 
prosy
 
protend
 
promptuary

 

Read the text with the purpose of understanding the meaning of the four unknown words. 

As you read, reflect on what you do.

The message had the quality of prosy.   As much as we tried, we could not dilute its

mind-dulling, tiresome and mediocre quality.    We had no difficulty deciding its source, the

brain behind the prosopopoeia.   But why the need for a verbose emissary?  Why the

non-appearance?   As the emanation continued, we saw both the diatribe and the day

protend.   Oh but to locate the promptuary for such rhetorical drivel.
