11th Grade AP Lang & Comp. Extra Credit

well, AP'ers you need extra credit as well...so...here it is:
at some point over the break, I want you to figure out the SOAPS for a family gathering, OR find 1 item in your life that is a visual argument. for example...if you're sitting with your family having dinner jot down what you see and work it into a SOAPS analysis, or,find one thing that you own that is making a visual argument...maybe you have a t-shirt with a funny logo or saying on it...maybe you have a poster that noone else understands...what is the message that's being sent. ok? ok. (ms. pavon, i know you have a shirt you can use for this)
as always, hit me up on email if you have questions... englishis4everyone@hotmail.com

How can he maintain his role as king without betraying or murdering any more innocent people?
