write down a 3 paragraph speech argument about any news topic that has to due with the human race (african americans)

Question

1. The introduction of your speech must include a hook that explains the issue from a broad (real world) angle, as well as mention the three course texts you are using to draw your analysis from.

 

1. In your speech, you must experiment with using the rhetorical devices we have studied such as pathos, ethos and logos. Consider how you can use metaphors, similes, short sentences, allusions, anecdotes, quotations, and other devices to make your speech more engaging and persuasive. Your speech is not about the work(s) that inspired the question. You should refer to the written work(s) briefly in your speech, but the focus must be on giving your own analysis of the issue.

 

1.  In your speech, label and name your rhetorical devices; put brackets on examples of ethos, logos, and pathos, and explain how it is logos, ethos, and pathos and the purpose of the devices in supporting your thesis. 

Answer 1

I am not sure of what is your particular question, although here are some thoughts on writing a rhetorical analysis writing assignment

Pre-Writing: You can begin to generate ideas by ensuring that you understand the question being asked and know the concepts mentioned. A quick Google search of reputable sources should aid you in making good sense of your teachers instructions. What have you learned about the Civil Rights Movement, Supreme Court cases that deal with African American issues in the justice system. Read through news articles that have emerged in the last 5 years to get a feel for how African American history has framed these problems. Issues that face African-Americans often can inform and help support every person in adversities, as we all encounter human problems.

Also, attack pre-writing from an unstructured and personalized view. Do not try free-writing in this phase, unless that is your preference and you feel most comfortable with it. Getting some ideas on the page is your primary goal during pre-writing. That fact is especially germane to writing a rhetorical analysis essay. Always consider that you can connect to other people through pathos (your humanity as an individual who can relate to the emotional and situational experiences others go through). Think about points of view that are less broadly understood or explored. You can create a great essay-- just believe in yourself!

1. Thesis: Think about the main topics as indicated by researchers, journalists, friends, acquaintances. After an informal "poll", revisit your ideas to see where you agree and/or disagree, or simply have a perspective that differs from others' views distinctly. This is the step from which your stance and your way of answering the question is going to originate. Then set yourself up to defend your ideas. If you are a bold composition writer, you can write your introduction now, but it is also acceptable to wait until you've written some of your supporting ideas and examples first
2. .Development of ideas: As you start to think about your main ideas, consider the "why". Reasons for our opinions can help us search for logical reasoning through facts that support it. Check with your tutor for step-by-step instructions. A good editor and teacher of English will surely be able to explain the process.
3. Writing your conclusion is a phase that can be left out until your second or third draft. (Yes, you should revise your first draft (sometimes referred to as a rough draft). As your tutor, that would be one of my suggestions, because I want you to become a better independent writer, and that can only happen when you gain experience correcting your own writing, as well.

I hope this is helpful information for you, as rhetorical analysis is a key part of learning to think more critically and to plan a project from start to finish-- and it's a skill we can all practice!
