Begin your rhetorical analysis with an introduction that presents an overview of the topic of your essay. Your introduction should not include any direct quotes, but should be a full-sized paragraph.

• Include a thesis statement in BOLD.

Next, include at least six body paragraphs analyzing how the author uses each rhetorical device to support their argument.

Include at least one paragraph for each rhetorical device-ethos, logos, and pathos- analyzing how the author uses that rhetorical device to support their argument.

For at least three body paragraphs you will need to incorporate one of the templates from "They Say" into your writing. Indicate the templates in BOLD.
Include ONE direct quote in EACH body paragraph to support the claims you are making, but DO NOT include more than one quote per paragraph. Most of your essay should focus on analyzing the argument the author is making through rhetorical devices.
Wrap up your rhetorical analysis with a conclusion paragraph. In your conclusion, explain why the argument presented in the essay you're analyzing is important to consider. Your conclusion should not include any direct quotes, but should be a full-sized paragraph.
