Assignment
:
Choose any essay from either of our textbooks,
outside of GR Chapters 1, 2, and 6.
For best results, choose an essay you feel is either very strong or very weak. Write a rhetorical
analysis of the essay (rhetorical analysis is detailed in Chapter 6), using the critical vocabulary
we have discussed in class (including such terms as audience, logos, ethos and pathos). Do NOT
explain whether you think the essay’s argument is “right” or “wrong,” but rather discuss how
well or poorly it makes its argument. Use specific examples from the text to back up your ideas.
Cite the essay in MLA format (unless you’ve spoken to me about using another format). The
citation model for an essay from either of our textbooks is #28 on page 255. Write at least 750
words, and include an additional works cited page.
