For your assignment submission, you’ll include:
2-3 specific quotations from Aristotle’s On Rhetoric and Cicero’s De Officiis that you are considering using in your final paper. Make sure to include page numbers or website references for your chosen specific quotations. Note: The more specifically you can connect to the exact words of the philosopher, the more you can debate your words in the paragraph plan against or for those exact words.
2 body paragraphs – one about the quotation from Aristotle and one about the quotation from Cicero. For more, see the example below.
