 Rhetorical Analysis of an Article

The idea here is to make your own argument about how another writer has put together his or her argument. To do so, you should make specific claims about how the author builds his or her argument, analyze the effect of the specific rhetorical choices he or she has made, and evaluate the effectiveness of those strategies.
