Rhetorical Analysis Of Alan Kwasman

Alan Kwasman, a Board Certified Pediatric doctor, claims that to become a doctor, one needs people skills, the ability to listen, and thoroughness. Dr. Kwasman supports his claim with reasoning on why doctors need certain qualities, examples of hard-to-distinguish diseases, and stories about his work, including one about a teenager who he diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux disease, much to the astonishment of his family. The purpose of Kwasman’s speech is to take a stand in persuading the audience to the fact that doctors are needed and should not always be blamed for accidents, as (mostly) they always try their best. The pediatrician spoke in an understanding and calm voice, with his speech made for the general public.
