My Rhetorical Analysis Paper
After completing both my Investigative Field Essay, and Annotated Bibliopgaphy + Lit Review, I definitely felt more confident when it came to researching for reliable and credible sources for my rhetorical analysis paper but I was still confronted with obstacles. Although I now acquired this skill, this assignment shifted my work into analyzing information in a different medium. For example, for this assignment we had to pick two artifacts, and one of them had to be in the form of a video or image, something I had never worked with before in an essay. Considering my field of study is law, and my topic was about the controversy revolving the landmark case Roe v. Wade, I decided to use a political cartoon of Donald Trump. I had heard about

    Brandon Jorritsm Source Analysis

    In summary, the paper by the unknown author and by Brandon Jorritsma seems similar. But, the use of sources throughout the writing and their effects is what makes the two writings different. The use of sources adds evidence and support to writing while not using sources concludes that the information present is not reliable. Reliable sources are applied by quoting and paraphrasing. Furthermore, sources have the power to enhance writing by making it more persuasive in contrast to sources not enhancing writing by making it less…

    Rhetorical Analysisfinal draft

    The article “Tarmageddon”, written by Andrew Nikiforuk, elaborates about the negative effects of the tar sands on Canada. In his essay, Nikiforuk mainly makes use of the logos appeal repeatedly to get his point across to the reader. The author also makes use of the other two rhetorical appeals to get to the reader. While the author uses logos in the essay to appeal to the audience, he missuses it as he uses it to appeal to the reader’s emotions rather than using it to make a logical argument. This is shown through his word choices and name calling through the essay.…

    Is Joe Biden the Man?

    In this particular political cartoon (pictured at right), the artist is making an argument about President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden. The cartoon was created with the intention of revealing that the Democratic Party is trying to get rid of Vice President Joe Biden because they believe he is no longer qualified for the job. The artist appeals to many senses through the use of color, drawings, and text.…

    Donald Trump Electoral Cartoon

    The electoral cartoon that I chose was the one about Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. It show’s the two presidential candidates running at the moment playing twister. It’s my belief that the artist of the comic wanted to portray the pair as being malicious while also being childish about the election. I believe this because many people consider that the both of them have been handing the election unjustly and with aimless disputes. The cartoon depicts the two of them playing a game of twister with pungent expressions on their faces. The game of twister ultimately represents how they’re debating recently, similar to how children would in a kids game. Their sour faces illustrate how they argue about many topics and views, usually unprofessionally…

My strengths as a reader have also definitely improved after reading the material we had this semester. We discussed several different aspects of the English language and spent a good amount of time this semester perfecting our ability to write rhetorical analyses. Doing so allowed us to focus a lot of our time on the WOVE method of communication and become better communicators.…

    Rhetorical Analysis Essay

    “The Carnivore’s Dilemma”, an essay by Nicolette Hanh Niman, incorporates rhetorical elements, such as logos, ethos, and rhetorical questions, in an attempt to convince the audience that meat itself is not the root of global warming. Written from a rancher’s point of view, the essay relies on studies and logic to prove itself. Niman starts out with a short acknowledgement that the meat industry has a hand in the increasingly noticeable global climate change. She then quickly changes gears, stating that the studies that show the meat industry is a major player in global warming only take the prevailing methods of producing meat into account and spews facts that show the flip side of the food industry.…

    My Rhetorical Analysis

    Composing my argument of inquiry was a lot more complicated than composing my rhetorical analysis. For my argument of inquiry, I had to the annotate my sources before I could synthesize them into an essay. My essay was organized by the different viewpoints accompanied with the supporting evidence I found. In my rhetorical analysis, I divided my essay into: the appeals Wacquant was making and the overall persuasiveness of the piece. However, I found it really difficult to organize these ideas. There was no synthesis needed in this essay. My writing process usually begin with annotation of my source(s) and/or detailed outline of my essay. I found that pre-writing works for me because I don’t do that my essay usually ends up not being cohesive…

    Well-known Sci-fi writer, Ray Bradbury, in his novel, Fahrenheit 451, illustrates that relationships reflect who individuals are and who they want to be. Bradbury’s purpose is to promote the idea that a person should have the courage to listen to their own beliefs and thoughts of happiness rather than to blend in with society. He adopts a disoriented and poetic tone in order to appeal to similar feelings and experiences on a non-realistic scale in his young adult readers.…

    My Rhetorical Analysis Of My Writing

    This semester my writing saw both the best of times, and the worst of times. My worst piece of writing is most definitely the first FRQ essay, which was a rhetorical analysis of one of the Onion’s articles. I have never held the most strength in rhetorical analysis. In years past when I would analyze the diction or syntax of an essay, I would experience immense difficulty. It was no different when it came to the first FRQ. I floundered, like a fish out of water, desperately searching for sentences I could analyze, words that I could pick apart. For me, the trouble with rhetorical analysis is that it is so focused on the small details. When I read anything, whether it be a book or an essay, I read the work as a whole. I never pay that much attention to the author’s word choice or the lengths of their sentences. To have to write about a subject that I don’t know much about, or pay much attention to, is always a struggle.…
