Article Essay Analysis
For this essay, pick an article from a reputable publication
and preform a rhetorical analysis. The article you pick
needs to be on a debatable topic (gun legislation, marijuana
legalization, queer rights, police reform, etc.), and it needs
to take a firm stance. Summarize and dissect the article’s
arguments. Are they using any logical fallacies? Logos,
ethos, or pathos? What about the article is effective and
what is not?
You may want to use They Say, I Say, So What? Format.
They Say: What the article says.
I Say: Your Analysis.
So What?: Where do you stand on this issue, and why?
