POWER

Poke around. Rhetoric is finding and utilizing, in a given situation, the available means of persuasion. Find what you consider the most powerful speech, study it so you can talk like an expert, and bring it tomorrow.

We missed Monday because of the holiday, so todya is a one off. I'd like you to work together and draft a document to submit to the administration requesting the creation of a Peace Club.

Shep signs in. He pokes at the speeches. Isn't studying rhetoric... rhetorical?

"So? What's striking you as powerful, Shepbaby?

"Honestly, it's all boring me senseless. Here's the thing, big old powerful speeches are done at times of great emotion and therefore carry great emotion and purpose. Once the emotion of the moment wears off the speech is just... rhetoric."

Lindsey sits down near Allie.

"We all supposed to work as one group or what? There's not that many of us in here. So. Peace Club? Guess it'd make sense to start with reasons why, right?"

Allie shrugs in response to his first question and picks up her pen.

"Well I think that around here, reasons to start something that promote peace are in easy supply," she says with a smile. "Zombie attacks, snow monsters, vampires, demons," she's writing as she's talking. "What am I forgetting?"

"Discrimination," Elizabeth spoke up quietly. "Peace can not just be considered as an absence of violence, but also by the presence of justice. An oppression of another group is considered evil, and the absence of evil is needed for true peace."
