Nursery Rhyme Rhetoric
A long time ago, in more repressed times, people were not always
allowed to openly criticize their governments. Doing so could bring them grave
harm. As a means of communicating amongst each other, clever rhymes were
created and passed around as a way to parody certain public figures or events.
For this assignment, you will choose four nursery rhymes to investigate and
study.
