  1. The defendant was exculpated of the suicide bombing when he showed up to the trial.

    The judge was at a quandary as to how he the man was placed at the scene of the bombing once all of the facts were revealed.

  2. Judge Bob exculpated the suspect after being accused of murder.

    The quandary escelated to a point where Tim was spinning in circles to look for options.


    Activity- A summary is a short re-telling of a passage, including major points and certain details. An analysis looks deeper into the writing to determine a meaning or purpose behind the words. DISSTP is not a rhetorical strategy because it is a very general understanding of a writing, that contains certain aspects of rhetorical strategy.

  3. A summary retells the passage in a more concise manner and an analysis dissects the different parts of the passage or story.

    DISSTP takes in all of the different rhetorical strategies and groups them to make make them more cohesive and let them blend more easily together.

  4. Exculpate - The esteemed lawyer made every effort to EXCULPATE the accused as being innocent, but in the end, the defendant was sentenced to life in prison.

    Quandary - Awkward in many social settings, Andrew always found himself in a QUANDARY when around his peers.

    1. A summary is a basic overview/explanation of the main points that an article of writing is trying to convey. It often consists of five sentences or less and only includes necessary information to cover the basics of the entire plot. On the other hand, an analysis is expounding upon what is being written rather than shortening the text. It is digging deeper into the literary aspects of a piece of writing and explaining them, rather than attempting to simplify them.

    2. DISSTP is an acronym that stands for Diction, Imagery, Syntax, Structure, Tone, and Purpose. These are the generally categories under which rhetorical strategies fall, but DISSTP is not a strategy in itself. For example, instead of stating that DISSTP is a rhetorical strategy exemplified in a particular reading, it is necessary to describe how a specific tone or an appeal to emotions was evident in that reading. Therefore, instead of stating that DISSTP (which covers all of the rhetorical strategies in broad terms) is a rhetorical strategy itself, readers could focus on the specific aspects of purpose, syntax, or diction that are evident in a piece of writing.

  5. The lawyer tried very hard to exculpate his client in the murder trial.

    Physics is a potential quandary every day.

    Summaries tell a story in a shorter fashion, while an analysis goes into depth on what the story really meant and how it should be taken.

    It is not a rhetorical strategy itself because they are the larger group to which the strategies belong.

  6. The lawyer helped to exculpate the supposed criminal for a crime that he did not commit.

    The polling lesson in government class was quandary, i had to ask a lot of questions.

    A summary is highlighting the key points of a writing in just a few sentences, a summary doesn't go into as much detail. An analysis is discussing the writing, this can be done by making connections, bringing up little details in the writing, or discussing ones opinion.
    It is not a rhetorical strategy because things like imagery, diction, and tone are not rhetorical, they don't really persuade someone, or give examples to support a topic.

  7. My grandfather paid a huge amount of money to acquire the best lawyers in town to hopefully exculpate him in his trial.

    The husband's stress levels were high due to his quandary making him think over his decision constantly.

    A summary is a short excerpt that talks about the main points of the story. An analysis goes through a story and depicts every part of it so the reader can fully understand the concept.

    DISSTP is not a rhetorical strategy because the components that support diction, imagery, structure, tone, syntax, and purpose are the rhetorical strategies. DISSTP are the different parts that come together to make a well written story and rhetorical strategies are used to create diction, imagery, structure, syntax, tone, and purpose.

  8. Exculpate - The thief was exculpated from the crime because of his great defense team.

    Quandary - I always find myself quandary when I miss a day of class.

    1. A summary is shortening something you read into its basic elements. You take a passage and point out its main points in a few sentences. An analysis is when you go over the main ideas of the passage and figure out what they mean and how they are relevant.

    2. DISSTP is not a rhetorical strategy because it is a series of categories that contain different rhetorical strategies. The groups themselves are not the rhetorical strategies.

  9. OJ Simpson's laywers exculpated him from murdering his wife.

    I'm often in a state of quandary when Mr Withers is showing us something in physics.

    A summary is a paragraph describing what happened in a reading. While an analysis goes more in depth of the summery.

    DISSTP is not a rhetorical strategy because many things can fall into that category and it isn't specific. Anything can be DISSTP if that were the case, but since we're in English class, being specific is key.

  10. The lawyer tried to exculpate his client by giving the jury evidence that he was not at the crime scene the night of the murder.

    She was in love with both hairstyles and she had a quandary about deciding which one to do.

    1. A summary is a brief description of the passage that was read, briefing over all of the main points. An analysis is the detailed example of the overall structure of the passage/story.
    2. DISSTP is not specific enough to be used as a rhetorical strategy. It covers too broad of an area to be considered a rhetorical strategy.

  11. Janice understood the importance in having her lawyer believe she was innocent and work diligently to exculpate her.

    School bus drivers often find themselves in a quandary when it comes to transporting large amounts of children in poor weather conditions.

    A summery is a recollection of events within a passage, while an analysis is where a passage is "picked apart", so to speak, to figure out the author's meaning and other literary elements.

    DISSTP is the analysis of a writer's style, not a rhetorical strategy on its own. Depending upon which rhetorical strategies an author uses, each aspect of DISSTP can contribute to the development of the author's argument.

  12. The hapless man was convicted of a crime worthy of death but the lawyer exculpated him.

    Having great expectation as I arrived in the U.S., I was in a quandary at what I saw compared to what I envisioned.

    A summary is a shorter story of capturing the essential components of the bigger story while an analysis is analyzing the main components to backup a claim.
    Because is they are only parts of a rhetorical strategy.

  13. After the kid stole the cookie he exculpated himself by showing no signs of crumbs.

    I was good calculus until we began learning the quandary lesson of logarithms.

    1. A summary is a non-descriptive way of explaining what you just read giving key points but not in depth of what they used to support the points. While an analysis you give the key points along with all supporting details.

    2. DISSTP is not a rhetorical strategy because it is a way to identify the 6 rhetorical strategies but it is not one itself. It is only a tool for someone to remember the rhetorical strategies.

  14. My sister and I do our best to exculpate one another if we are mistakenly punished.

    She was so well planned and prepared, she seldom found herself in a quandary.

    A summary merely summises text, giving a general overview. An analysis goes into further depth, evaluating the text and identifying things such as rhetorical strategies.

    DISSTP is not a rhetorical strategy because it is a way to identify rhetorical strategies.

  15. The lawyer exculpated the innocent slave in court.

    The substitute made a quandary situation, because she didn't understand the directions left by the teacher.

    a Summary makes an account of all the major points in a passage, an Analysis reports the DISSTP of the passage and its effect on readers

    DISSTP is created by rhetorical strategies

  16. Being a talented lawyer, Steve was able to exculpate his defendant.
    A morale quandary arose due to the fact that Steve was not sure whether or not the man acquitted of murder was truly innocent.

    A summary simply goes over the talking points of a piece, and never dives deep into the meaning of the writing or how it was written. It just goes over what is in the writing. Analysis on the other hand, goes into what a piece of writing means and how it reflects on the author who wrote it. When you analyze you dig deeper into a piece of literature to discover how, why, when, where, and what the piece is, instead of what the piece says.
    DISSTP is not a rhetorical strategy because it talks about the overall structure, and not what makes up that structure.

  17. After the teacher blamed the student for being disruptive in class, he exculpated himself by putting the blame on someone else.

    Musical rehearsal was a quandary experience.

    1) A summary is an overview of what happened in a piece of writing, while an analysis goes more into the meaning of the text as a whole.

    2) DISSTP is not a rhetorical strategy because it identifies the strategies, but it not a strategy itself.

  18. The young child was exculpated by his older brother after he confessed to their parents of his wrongdoings.

    Often i find myself in a quandary during physics class.

    A summary shortly describes the reading while an analysis depicts what the reading is trying to say.
    Diss TP isn't a rhetorical strategy because it is the framework that holds the rhetorical strategies.

  19. The defendant exculpated his client with his incredible lawyer skills.

    When the class talks about rhetorical analysis I fell into a quandary and zoned out.

    A summary has little description and little opinion, while an analysis has the authors ideas and opinions worked into it.

    DISSTP is the framework for rhetorical strategy.

  20. The lawyer wiped the sweat from his brow before speaking before the jury, for he knew it was nearly impossible to exculpate his client.

    Jake is in quite a quandary about whether to attend prom or participate in the theater event he volunteered for.

    A summary takes the important parts of a story and shortly describes them. An analysis takes characteristics of the story and breaks them down to find a deeper meaning.

    DISSTP is not a rhetorical strategy because it is the framework that rhetorical strategies fall in to.

  21. He was exculpated of the murder, exiting the court room with a sinister smirk, having no quandaries with pulling off the perfect crime.


    A summary is a shallow acknowledgement of all major points, an analysis is a descriptive look at the DISSTP of the piece.

    DISSTP is a product of combined rhetorical strategies and is not in itself a rhetorical strategy.

  22. The witness was elated to be exculpated after the evidence was presented.

    If I don’t study for my government test, I am in a quandary when I take it.

    A summary is what is actually happening in a story and an analysis is picking apart the story and making connections in the writing.

    DISS TP are not rhetorical strategies because DISS TP are umbrella terms that specific rhetorical strategies fall under.

  23. The witness gave his testimony, and moments later Rob was exculpated from the charge.
    I was in a panicked quandary during the calculus test when I could not recall the formula.

    1. A summary is an overview, sometimes leaving out small details, while an analysis is a conglomerate of points supported by details.
    2. DISSTP is not considered a rhetorical strategy because the rhetorical strategies fall into the individual categories of diction, imagery, structure, syntax, tone, and purpose.

  24. The criminal justice lawyer was in court to exculpate his client from the murder.

    Maria was quandary from the teachers explanation for the assignment.

    Summary is defined as a brief statement or account of the main points of something, usually an article, essay or overall a piece of writing. Analysis is mainly a detailed examination of the structure of something with points or discussions to support the details in the structure.
    DISS TP is not a rhetorical strategy, it is the framework of rhetorical strategies. Rhetorical strategies is like the pink paper that we have received from Ms. Barnhart, which explains imagery, syntax, structure, tone, diction, and the purpose of a piece.

  26. Exculpate- The lawyer exculpated his defendant of the misdemeanor.

    Quandary- The adolescent was in a quandary when given the chance to indulge in peer pressure.

    1. A summary is a brief statement that consist of the main points in a passage, whereas analysis are the connections and picking apart of a composition.

    2. DISSTP is not a rhetorical strategy because the rhetorical strategies are in the groupings of diction, imagery, structure, syntax, tone, and purpose.

  27. In order to exculpate his client, the lawyer needed sufficient evidence.
    I was in a quandary deciding whether to have pizza or spaghetti for dinner.
    1. A summary is a short review of the that glosses over the small details and includes the main points of the writing. An analysis is a much more detailed, thought out representation of a writing, including your thoughts and smaller parts and details.
    2. DISSTP is not a rhetorical strategy because in using them you do not use the specific grouping of things such as diction, imagery, structure etc. but you use them within to better your writing.

  28. In an attempt to exculpate myself, I told my mother my sister was the one who broke the vase.
    I had lost my road map and as I continued driving I began to feel as though I was in a quandary.
    1. A summary is a piece of writing that includes all the important parts out of an essay. It differs from an analysis because it does not go in depth to talk about the writing strategies and the author's purpose.
    2. DISSTP is not a rhetorical strategy because it does not touch closely enough on the specific writing tools such as imagery, foreshadowing, word choice, and so on. It is too much of a generalization to be rhetorical.
