Write a Rhetorical essay on "HAVE SMARTPHONES DESTROYED A GENERATION?" by Jean M. Twenge.

Create an outline for your essay and plan what you will discuss in each section. Your essay must include the following sections:

1. An introductory paragraph that names the article's author and title and provides any background information you think is necessary. For instance, you might find it important to name the publication (magazine, website, etc.) in which the essay was published and the target audience of that publication, or to mention biographical information about the author. Include a brief summary (synopsis) of the article, and then transition into a re-statement of the article's thesis. End the paragraph with your own thesis statement, which will express how you think the author conveys their thesis and what you will examine in your rhetorical analysis.
2. Body paragraphs, each of which will explain one of the author's primary writing techniques. Each body paragraph should be straightforward, with a topic sentence identifying the technique to be discussed, followed by sentences that provide examples of that technique in the context of the essay. If necessary, the paragraph can conclude with a sentence or two describing the overall effect of this technique within the essay. Begin the next body paragraph with a transition sentence.
3. A concluding paragraph that speaks to the overall impact of the article. What does the article leave readers thinking about? What is its impact? Do not simply repeat things you mentioned in your introduction and body paragraphs.
