Effective writing

Through a close reading of Dimmesdale's speech in chapter 3 and Chillingworth's speech in chapter 4, you should be developing an understanding of how a speaker can be effective.  Answer the following questions in the comments to generate a discussion of effective writing and speaking.

• What aspects of SOAPS should be considered in deciding if writing is effective? Why?
• Based on your response to the first question, which speaker is more effective: Dimmesdale in chapter 3 or Chillingworth in chapter 4?
