Rhetorical Essay Moments in history, social views, and the national audience contribute to the rhetorical choices made by the speaker. Authors use rhetorical devices as a manipulation technique. What rhetorical devices aided the author’s manipulation of his audience? Consider tone, diction, appeals, anecdotes and other literary devices. (Include content from multiple (2-3) secondary sources that effectively and actively support your thesis. You must have a Works Cited page in MLA format that includes the speech and additional sources.

Things you must know in order to accurately analyze a text: SOAPS Rhetorical Strategies Appeals (ethos, logos, pathos) Style (diction, syntaxe, détails, imagery, tone, etc.) Why did the author choose these strategies for the particular audience, occasion, and/or purpose? This is the analysis part! Without this, you are merely summarizing the text. Think about these questions: HOW do the rhetorical strategies help the author achieve his/her purpose? WHY does the author chose

KEEP IN MIND. . . Once you’ve identified the information on the previous slide, it’s time to begin putting your thoughts and ideas into a format that proves you have accurately analyzed the text. On the next slide is one way that is a good, simple format to help you get started. You may find as you become more comfortable with analysis that you want to deviate from this format. That’s fine as long as you are still focusing on numbers 1-3 from above. The paper maintains 3rd person. (No I, me, we, us, our, you) Must maintain present tense. Must follow MLA Style

Introduction Paragraph Format and Example Speaker, Occasion, and Subject (Writer’s credentials), (writer’s first and last name), in his/her (type of text), (title of text), (strong verb – see list at end of this handout) (writer’s subject).
