Rhetorical Analysis
Since the beginning of the semester, we have discussed Aristotle's Rhetorical Triangle to understand the roles that ethos, pathos, and logos play in constructing a successful and balanced argument. In our second essay of the semester, we will closely examine one of our readings and rhetorically analyze the argument in terms of its audience, the author’s intrinsic and extrinsic ethos, and the logical and emotional appeals of the argument. Your thesis, which will establish your persona in the essay using the first person “I” will articulate whether or not you think that the argument is persuasive based on the rhetorical appeals; a strong thesis will tell why you feel the argument successfully persuades the audience, based on the writer’s ethos, and the logos and pathos of the argument.
(NOTE: your thesis will not tell how you feel about the issue or whether or not you agree with the author’s position; since your purpose here is to analyze, your thesis must tell whether or not the essay successfully persuades the audience based on its rhetorical appeals)
The length requirement for this essay is four to five pages in MLA format. You must include a citation for the text on your works cited list. You are not required to bring in outside sources, since the purpose of this paper is to analyze one text closely, but if you do wish to include any outside information, your sources should be properly cited both in text and on the works cited list. Please organize your essay into the following sections (include bold headings): Intro, Audience, Ethos, Logos, Pathos, Conclusion.
INTRO
In the introduction of this paper, you will open by fully contextualizing the text for readers (assume that the reader needs explanation and background about the text!) First, you must introduce the author and title of the piece. You should then provide a brief summary of the argument, identifying the target audience and what the author’s is trying to persuade this audience to believe. The final sentence of the intro will be your thesis sentence, telling whether or not you feel the author makes a successful argument based on the author’s ethos, and use of pathos, and logos.
AUDIENCE
In this paragraph, you will identify the text’s target audience, and list other possible secondary audiences. Does the writer succeed in persuading this audience? Explain in a well developed paragraph.
ETHOS
Here, you will discuss the author’s extrinsic (ie credibility outside of the “Letter”) and intrinsic ethos (ie the credibility established in the argument based on tone, word choice, appeals to shared values, etc.) Does the author’s credibility outside of the essay strengthen the persuasiveness of the text? What about the author’s credibility inside of the essay? How would you describe the author? Educated? Reasonable? Respectful? Of good moral and ethical character? What examples inside and outside of the text reveal this? Provide specific examples and explain/analyze ...

1. Rhetorical Analysis
Since the beginning of the semester, we have discussed
Aristotle's Rhetorical Triangle to understand the roles that
ethos, pathos, and logos play in constructing a successful and
balanced argument. In our second essay of the semester, we will
closely examine one of our readings and rhetorically analyze the
argument in terms of its audience, the author’s intrinsic and
extrinsic ethos, and the logical and emotional appeals of the
argument. Your thesis, which will establish your persona in the
essay using the first person “I” will articulate whether or not
you think that the argument is persuasive based on the
rhetorical appeals; a strong thesis will tell why you feel the
argument successfully persuades the audience, based on the
writer’s ethos, and the logos and pathos of the argument.
(NOTE: your thesis will not tell how you feel about the issue or
whether or not you agree with the author’s position; since your
purpose here is to analyze, your thesis must tell whether or not
the essay successfully persuades the audience based on its
rhetorical appeals)
The length requirement for this essay is four to five pages in
MLA format. You must include a citation for the text on your
works cited list. You are not required to bring in outside
sources, since the purpose of this paper is to analyze one text
closely, but if you do wish to include any outside information,
your sources should be properly cited both in text and on the
works cited list. Please organize your essay into the following
sections (include bold headings): Intro, Audience, Ethos, Logos,
Pathos, Conclusion.

2. contextualizing the text for readers (assume that the reader
needs explanation and background about the text!) First, you
must introduce the author and title of the piece. You should
then provide a brief summary of the argument, identifying the
target audience and what the author’s is trying to persuade this
audience to believe. The final sentence of the intro will be your
thesis sentence, telling whether or not you feel the author makes
a successful argument based on the author’s ethos, and use of
pathos, and logos.
AUDIENCE
In this paragraph, you will identify the text’s target audience,
and list other possible secondary audiences. Does the writer
succeed in persuading this audience? Explain in a well
developed paragraph.
ETHOS
Here, you will discuss the author’s extrinsic (ie credibility
outside of the “Letter”) and intrinsic ethos (ie the credibility
established in the argument based on tone, word choice, appeals
to shared values, etc.) Does the author’s credibility outside of
the essay strengthen the persuasiveness of the text? What about
the author’s credibility inside of the essay? How would you
describe the author? Educated? Reasonable? Respectful? Of
good moral and ethical character? What examples inside and
outside of the text reveal this? Provide specific examples and
explain/analyze the examples thoroughly.
PATHOS
In this section, you will analyze how the author appeals to the
emotions of the audience through the use of strategic examples
and elevated/heightened word choice. You should introduce and
discuss at least two examples and thoroughly explain how these
examples contribute to the overall persuasiveness of the
argument.
3. LOGOS
Here, you will examine, discuss, and analyze the logical appeals
made in the text (facts, comparison, cause and effect reasoning,
analogies).
CONCLUSION
Your conclusion must restate your thesis and the main points
made in the sections of your paper. You can develop your
conclusion through a variety of strategies: you can end with an
incorporation of a key quote, question, or point; return to an
opening example or quote; discuss how the paper relates to
current conditions; discuss the topic's overall importance to
society.
Remember that our audience this semester is an academic
audience that requires a formal tone; always refer to an author
by their last name! While you can use the first person I, try not
to use the second person you, since it tends to make the tone
less formal and more conversational.
I will read your “final for now” with the purpose of providing
feedback for further improvement of the draft for the Portfolio.
Therefore, I will not assign the essay a grade until that point,
but will instead read your draft and discuss your success at
meeting the following guidelines:
An intro paragraph that contextualizes the text for the audience
thoroughlyA thesis sentence that expresses, using an I plus a
strong verb, whether or not the text is rhetorically successful
overall and specifies reasons whyA conclusion that rephrases
the thesis sentence and all of the main ideas of the essay in
order, then ends with a meaningful thought about the text
Bolded headings to organize the ideas of the paper
Strong body paragraphs (ie “hamburger” academic paragraphs)
with clear topic sentences
Relevant and strategically chosen examples from the text to
illustrate the author’s ethos, pathos, and logos appeals
4. Solid and insightful analysis that thoroughly explains WHY the
examples chosen are successful and persuasive appeals to the
target/secondary audience (or not)
Smooth flow of ideas via transition words/phrases both inside
and between paragraphsProfessionalism/Editing—at the final
for now stage, the essay should have limited errors in spelling,
grammar, punctuation and demonstrate effective use of
academic English
Audience awareness: maintaining an academic tone and keeping
the reader interested and engaged
MLA—correct MLA formatting, in text citations, works cited
list
Length—4-5 pages (1200-1500 words)

To test whether a table has been modified correctly as you do
these exercises, you can write and run an appropriate SELECT
statement.
1) Write an INSERT statement that adds this row to the
Categories table: category_name: Brass
and Code the INSERT statement so MySQL automatically
generates the category_id column.
2) Write an UPDATE statement that modifies the row you just
added to the Categories table. This statement should change the
category_name column to “Woodwinds”, and it should use the
category_id column to identify the row.
3) Write a DELETE statement that deletes the row you added to
the Categories table in exercise 1.
This statement should use the category_id column to identify
the row.
