For rhetorical device essays:
-note any times figurative language is used--and explain its purpose in the work as a whole
-analyze the syntax and diction of the passage-- ex: its affect on the tone.
-underline anything that stands out to you
For synthesis:
-determine the tone or what side the author is on (pro, con, qualify)
-underline whatever stands out and explain why it does.
