You can either compare the two Obama speeches that we discussed on Monday, or you can compare the texts about Fracking (located on Isidore, lessons, Monday, November 9). In your paper you will be analyzing the texts in terms of their overall purpose, argument, and structure (including ethos, pathos, and logos), paying close attention to how the text relates to the context of the text (audience, purpose, context, author). In your analysis you should: 1. Write a brief summary of both of the texts you are analyzing. The summaries should contain a description of the features of both texts as well as a description of the main goal/purpose/argument of both texts. 2. Identify and explain the rhetorical situation of the text by focusing on the type of text, the target audience, the author, and the purpose. Remember that texts may have more than one audience and purpose. Use examples and evidence from the text to show how author of the text is relating or not relating to the rhetorical situation. 3. Identify and analyze how the author uses rhetorical strategies (ethos, pathos, logos) to connect with and support his claim for his target audience. Also, pay attention to how the author uses language, format, word choice, and organization to connect with his reader. Use evidence and examples from the text to show how the author uses rhetorical strategies. 4. Discuss what parts of the text are effective in reaching the audience and what parts of the text are not effective in light of the texts audience/context. 5.
