ENG101 Los Angeles Mission Harvey Weinstein Scandal Rhetorical Analysis

Introduction

We define “rhetoric” as the available means of persuasion in a given situation. From this definition, we can assume two things to be true: 1.) rhetoric contains a goal or motive and 2.) the expression of that goal or motive relies on the specifics of the rhetorical situation. The medium and the intended audience play key roles in shaping any text.

Overview

Your paper will be based on a source text of your choosing (from the three options below). The first section, Summary (1-1.5 pages), should introduce and summarize the text and the rhetorical situation the speaker is inhabiting. Resist the urge to critique or praise – a summary should be objective, not evaluative. Describe the main ideas, the way the text is organized, and the style in which it is delivered. You should assume your audience has not read/viewed the source text.

The second section, Analysis (1.5-3 pages), should analyze how rhetorical appeals (logos, ethos, pathos) are used within the text to create an effect or inspire a specific outcome. Explain what you believe the author’s intentions and rhetorical strategies are and use specific observations from the text to support your claims. This section can include some commentary and subjective interpretation, but again, be careful not to evaluate the merits of the work.

101 students tend to be fairly experienced in writing five paragraph essays, and it may be tempting to use a stock template here (intro paragraph, a paragraph on logos, pathos, ethos, and conclusion). Don’t! Rather than adhering to a template, let your observations and questions from the text determine where your focus lies. If your source text makes extensive use of pathos, your analysis (and its thesis) should say something specific about how that speaker/author uses pathos to convey their message, how their pathos is integrated with other rhetorical appeals, and why (in your own view, and show how you made these connections/inferences) the speaker/author used that strategy to engage their intended audience.
