How do the writers portray their Arctic experiences in Captain Scott's Diary and 'I Fell Through Arctic Ice'?

The skills being tested here are as follows:

- your ability to make perceptive comparisons
- the use of appropriate quotations to support your points
- the analysis of the methods the writers use - how do they communicate their message?

Begin by brainstorming the similarities and differences between the texts and then proceed to write your response.

You may wish to consider some of the following points:

-Scott's writing consists of extracts from his diary. He was aware that the document may be read by others as it had become historically important. Rolfe, in contrast, is writing a newspaper article.
-Scott is recording things as they occur: Rolfe is writing after the event
-Scott's writing varies massively in style; the entries immediately before his death are terse and factual whilst the opening section is almost poetic in style
- consider Scott's use of figurative language in the Impressions section of his writing; what use does he make of sensory imagery, onomatopoeia, personification and simile? Why do you think that he chooses to include such an impressionistic section in his writing?
-consider Scott's use of litotes (which is deliberate understatement, the opposite of hyperbole). Why does he downplay the significance of certain things?
-in contrast, how does Rolfe make use of similes and rhetorical questions to convey the full horror of his situation?
-consider the vocabulary choices of both writers. For example, Scott's use of 'seductive ', 'fragrant', 'gentle' and 'peeping' and Rolfe's use of 'oblivion', 'bludgeon', savage', 'distorted' and 'gnarled'.
- what, ultimately, does each man want to communicate?

An expository essay instructs, provides information, or explains. in this essay, you are presenting information and explaining why you think the ideas and work of the individual you chose had an effect on european thought. but before you begin writing the essay, you need to organize the information you’ve gathered by creating an outline. directions: your taking notes sheet should have you identify and organize the information you found while doing your research. now it is time to create an outline to organize the information in the way you will present it in your essay. you may decide not to use all the information you gathered, but be sure you do not leave out anything that you believe is important to support your thesis. your essay should include an introductory paragraph, supporting paragraphs, and a concluding paragraph. each paragraph should cover one main topic and should correspond to a roman numeral (i., ii., iii.) on the outline. the main topics should cover: the person’s accomplishment and contributions, and the effect of his or her accomplishments or contributions on european thought. write a topic sentence for each paragraph of your essay. be sure it tells the reader what the section will be about and how the information relates to your thesis statement. your topic sentence for the introductory paragraph might say something like “johannes gutenberg’s invention changed the way people communicated.” a topic sentence for the second paragraph—the first main topic—might be something like "gutenberg’s printing press changed the way books were produced and the way knowledge was communicated.” decide which pieces of information you will use to support your topic sentences. (these ideas or groups of facts are called subtopics.) subtopics follow capital letters and periods (a., b., and c.) on your outline. add this information beneath your topic sentence. you can further divide subtopics into specific facts. in an outline, specific facts follow arabic numerals and periods (1. 2. 3. 4.) end your outline and essay with a concluding paragraph. write a concluding paragraph that summarizes the main ideas of your essay and restates your thesis statement in some way. write no more than four or five sentences. worth 241 points
