This document provides instructions for writing a 3-4 page rhetorical analysis of a text by an underrepresented author. The analysis should introduce the context of the text, provide a brief summary, and state a thesis about the author's rhetorical strategies. It should then analyze the specific strategies used to construct the argument and elicit an emotional or logical response from the audience. Examples from the text should be used to support the main points about how rhetorical devices are used to engage the audience and further the overall message.
