This paper is a Rhetorical Analysis. My professor has emphasized that this shouldn’t be a summary of content, but a analysis and comparative strategies of the two articles chosen on a given topic. Highlighting rhetorical strategies is a must.
Content may be used to provide context on what you are evaluating (every analysis you make must be supported with evidence and cited in the actual line of the essay and work cited).
I have attached the Rhetorical Analysis WS that will be referenced in the instructions. This WS must be used in the body’s of the paragraph. The thesis statement must be clear and concise about rhetorical strategies used and not about which article I agree with more, no summaries. Feel free to provide background information on both authors to show how that influences their writing. Logos, Pathos, and Ethos must be used in the paper. I must include paragraphs about what each article did well and what they did not so well. A few questions my professor mentioned would be good for the conclusion are, What questions arose from reading the article? If you wrote another paper on the same topic what would you write? What is missing? How can you make that argument in the first place?
Key Notes: My professor likes to us this definition of rhetoric: The good man speaking well(Quintilian). Also, seeing the available means of persuasion (Aristotle).
I have more details about the formatting of the page should you choose to complete this paper.
Below I have attached the two articles for this topic, however, feel free to change the topic or use different articles that best suites your writing style.
Thanks!
