Rhetorics is the art or means of persuasion.
Academic and critical writing includes analyzing the rhetorics of what you read. When you are engaged in this kind of analysis you are not reading passively, but instead are reading to examine the writer’s purpose for responding to the situation his text addresses, and you are actively examining the claims the writer makes and the support the writer uses to advance those claims. This act of analyzing the purpose, context, claims, and support of a text is called rhetorical analysis. When you do this work–you are performing a rhetorical analysis.
For this essay, I want you to write a rhetorical analysis of one of the texts we’ve read thus far. This means that you will be looking at the rhetorical situation of the text, the author’s purpose, and the claims that the author makes, as well as how the author is supporting those claims.

Essay Guidelines
3 – 4 pages, not including Works Cited page
No more than 10% TurnItIn.Com matching content
If your matching content is higher than 10% I will not accept it. Please make sure to check you percentage and ensure that you do not have too much quoted material or matching material to others.
Of note: If it is flagging quoted material from your texts, this is a clue that you are not doing enough analysis. Your work in this essay is to analyze what the author is doing, and that means I should hear YOUR voice.
Your text should have zero AI generated material. I check this across multiple platforms, so please do not use AI–I will not accept your paper and you will receive a zero.
Let me be very clear: If your paper has any AI generated work according to Turnitin.com I will not accept it and you will receive a zero–this is not negotiable. I take AI generated work very seriously so do not attempt to slip it by. It is not worth it.
Use the text throughout your essay to support your analysis
This means if you are talking about the author’s claims, for example, you should include/show an example of what you think is the author’s claim. This should be quoted material using MLA citations. Please read the book that illustrates how to quote, follow the links I’ve provided in the Helpful Resources module, or use one of the suggested texts that support MLA guidelines.
Use 3rd person, this means do not use “I” at all in your paper.
Use present tense
Some other helpful guidelines regarding college level academic writing. These are all things you need to make sure you are doing in your paper.
Use different sentence lengths and sentence types
Avoid sentence construction errors (fragments, comma splices, run-ons)
Make sure your essay is thesis driven
Thesis at the end of your Introduction
Topic Sentence for each body paragraph
One topic/issue/idea per body paragraph
Use the quote sandwich: Introduce the quote, provide the quote, analyze the quote
No announcements: This essay will address, I will explain, my thesis, my essay will focus on, etc.
No “I” statements. This should be written as a 3rd person essay that does not rely on personal narratives.
Use transitions throughout
Use “signal phrases” to introduce your quotes
