Rhetorical Analysis

During class, we added three words to our vernacular. We have three left in this unit and for vocabulary in Adv. Comp.

Meanwhile, we began rhetorical analysis - the "what" and the "why" the author uses strategies and writing organization to express a theme or argument. This involves the rhetorical triangle: the speaker, the audience, and the subject. In addition, this brings on the three musketeers of rhetorical appeals: logos, ethos, and pathos. During class tomorrow, we will review standard rhetorical terms, and you will be constructing a rhetorical analysis of your own.
