Compose an essay in which you answer these questions by analyzing and evaluating the rhetorical strategies that Pollen, Jenkins, and Lappé use to support their arguments. As you write, you should assume an audience who has not read these essays (or at least not recently), so briefly summarize their main ideas before you explain the particular strategies that each writer uses. Assume, too, that your reader has not had the practice in rhetorical analysis that you have. Be sure to explain the rhetorical concepts that you are using (ethos, pathos, logos, etc.) and provide examples from to illustrate. Ultimately, you should use your analysis to support your own argument about which rhetorical strategies you believe were most effective in these essays.
Requirements and Submission
Your paper should be at least 1,000 words long, though well-developed responses may be much longer. Your paper should have an introduction and a conclusion. It should briefly summarize the essays under consideration, analyze the rhetorical strategies used in each, and develop an argument about which strategies seem most effective. Your paper should be typed and formatted according to MLA guidelines. You should include at least three direct quotations in proper MLA citation, and you must include an MLA works cited entry for Pollen, Jenkins, and Lappé’s essays.
