For the rest of my post, I will reflect on my draft considering the questions on page 197 of the Student's Guide.
- I do have an identifiable thesis. I think it reads very well but it falls short in illuminating the most important rhetorical strategies the original article uses. I do not simply fall back on logos, ethos, and pathos; rhetorical strategies are just not part of the thesis at this point.
- I decided to organize my essay in a multi-faceted manner. My paragraphs reflect rhetorical changes that occur sequentially throughout the original article. I think this is a fundamentally strong idea but I need to be more concrete in my analysis.
- I do identify the rhetorical elements that are of consequence to my article. as always, the analysis could use work.
- I do discuss the rhetorical strategies that were used and how they were implemented and how they impact the very specific audience of my piece. I think this is one of the strongest parts of my essay.
- I am using specific examples from the original text. I'm not sure if I could call my uses particularly thoughtful but I am certainly implementing them.
- I think my conclusion provides a solid summary of how the original text fulfills its rhetorical purpose however I think my more in depth analysis is probably wanting.
