Rhetorical Analysis

Write a rhetorical analysis. A rhetorical analysis analyzes and evaluates how well a rhetor attempts to reach, maybe even influence, an audience. You will locate an interesting text (it can be written, visual or oral) and analyze it according to the way the text uses rhetorical effects and strategies to make its argument. You will use specific textual evidence to establish an argument (i.e., thesis) about how the text works. Your role is that of a critic, providing an audience of your peers a way of understanding the measure of persuasive effect by analyzing the rhetorical situation.

Your rhetorical analysis should:

make a claim (a thesis) about the effectiveness of an interesting, potentially persuasive text;
identify the rhetor, intended audience, message, and intended purpose of the text;
assess the texts employment of available means;
evaluate the text as a fitting response through sufficient textual evidence and analysis.
