In this assignment, write and discuss any THREE of the following rhetorical elements in the article: Rhetor, audience, exigence, constraints, context, text, and the rhetorical appeals used in it. These are all important parts of rhetorical, or persuasive, writing and speaking. You will find the reading in this module. Keep your response brief but supported with explicit,or directly stated, examples. Include enough information to show that you see how your chosen elements of the rhetorical situation interact within the text and enhance your understanding of it.

1.    Compose the thesis statement and topic sentences for it, and identify each of the THREE chosen elements of the rhetorical situation in which the text was created (rhetor, context, exigence, audience, constraints, text, as well as the rhetorical appeals used in it). 

2.    For each item on your outline/list, define each term and explain the importance or relevance of that specific element in the text. Each section will be a substantial paragraph (8-10 sentences minimum).

3.    Cite from the essay to avoid plagiarizing. Rely on paraphrasing and summarizing the text you are analyzing. But these require citations and a reference page (APA or MLA).

 

MINI-REFLECTION (200 words).

Add the following answers to the questions below from your assignment above.

1.    What do you now understand that you didn’t catch or consider the first time you read the text? Discuss your reaction to applying rhetoric to reading and analyzing the article.
