Rhetorical Analysis
Your third major paper for this class will be a rhetorical analysis of two texts of your choice. In order for you to write effectively, you must be able analyze how these texts work to achieve their purposes. This assignment gives you the opportunity to analyze the argument and rhetorical context of these texts, compare how they work in relation to their rhetorical settings, and discuss their effectiveness in their own contexts.
In order to conduct the comparative rhetorical analysis, you need to choose two texts that are related to each other in some way. You could, for example, choose two advertisements for the same product that are located in different magazines (or different cultures), or, you could choose two speeches on the same topic that are delivered to different audiences (these are just examples – there are many possibilities). In your paper you will be analyzing the texts in terms of their overall purpose, argument, and structure (including ethos, pathos, and logos), paying close attention to how the text relates to the context of the text (audience, purpose, context, author).
In your analysis you should:
1. Write a brief summary of both of the texts you are analyzing. The summaries should contain a description of the features of both texts as well as a description of the main goal/purpose/argument of both texts.
2. Identify and explain the rhetorical situation of the text by focusing on the type of text, the target audience, the author, and the purpose. Remember that texts may have more than one audience and purpose. Use examples and evidence from the text to show how author of the text is relating or not relating to the rhetorical situation.
3. Identify and analyze how the author uses rhetorical strategies (ethos, pathos, logos) to connect with and support his claim for his target audience. Also, pay attention to how the author uses language, format, word choice, and organization to present information, inform/mislead/flatter/etc. (as we have read about in the texts for the class). Use evidence and examples from the text to show how the author uses rhetorical strategies.
4. Discuss what parts of the text are effective in reaching the audience and what parts of the text are not effective in light of the texts audience/context.
5. Submit both the analysis and the texts you are analyzing to me with your first and final drafts.
You will be graded on:
· your ability to accurately describe the text and the rhetorical situation of the text.
· your ability to analyze the rhetorical strategies, including ethos, pathos, and logos and other language and rhetorical strategies used to persuade the reader.
· your use of examples and evidence from the text to support your claims.
· your ability to construct a coherent analysis.
· your ability to construct effective paragraphs and sentences/grammar and mechanics.
Your paper should be 4-6 pages long (excluding the title page and works cited page), 12pt font, double- ...

The sermon uses imagery of floods, arrows, and fire to emphasize how inescapable divine wrath will be once released and how foolish it would be for listeners to remain in such a perilous state. It aims to frighten listeners into accepting Jesus Christ anew to escape this doom.

From self reliance
Emerson argues that true genius and self-reliance means speaking your own internal convictions rather than conforming to external traditions or the opinions of others. He believes we should have faith in our own thoughts and impressions, even if they contradict the views of society. True greatness requires nonconformity and being misunderstood rather than seeking the approval of others through imitation or conformity. We should remain true to our own mind and individuality.

American transcendentalism good copy
Transcendentalism was a 19th century philosophical movement that emphasized intuition, inspiration, and nature. It was influenced by German idealism and opposed religious dogma. Prominent transcendentalists like Emerson and Thoreau believed in living close to nature, self-reliance, non-conformity, and that spiritual truths could be directly experienced.
From nature
In the opening pages of his first book, Nature (1836), Emerson argues that habit and tradition have become a way of living secondhand, by the ideas and truths of former times. In contrast is the renewal of the spirit offered by nature, which enlarges our own vision and empowers us to create “our own works and laws...” Later, Emerson describes how nature restores the tone of the mind and body worn down by work or poor company. He also notes how the changing beauty of nature satisfies the human spirit and can make us feel god-like without any physical benefits.
Arg essay texts
After putting a box of old poetry manuscripts in the trash, a professor was reported to police by a student as a "Middle Eastern man" acting suspiciously. This led to an evacuation of campus buildings and cancellation of classes as the bomb squad investigated. It was revealed to be just recycling. However, the incident showed how an innocent action by a person of color can be viewed as a threat due to a culture of fear and profiling. While the university denied the report was racially motivated, the professor was deeply troubled by the profiling and atmosphere of suspicion it revealed.
Writing from sources rubric
This document provides scoring criteria for argument essays that analyze multiple texts. It evaluates essays across 5 levels based on their demonstration of content and analysis, command of evidence, coherence and organization, and control of conventions. The highest level introduces insightful claims and in-depth text analysis. Lower levels introduce less precise claims and demonstrate less accurate or confused text analysis. All levels are expected to cite evidence from the texts, but higher levels do so more fully and thoughtfully. Organization, language usage, and grammar are also assessed, with the top levels exhibiting sophisticated writing. An essay must address all assigned texts and make references to them to score above a 3. Personal responses or copies of the task/texts would receive lower scores.
