How does the rhetorician (speaker, author, lyricist, performer, creator, etc.) attempt to influence the audience’s thoughts and feelings?

F‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‌irst, select a video or text from within the last two years. Then, write a rhetorical analysis (1200-1500 words) in which you answer the following: How does the rhetorician (speaker, author, lyricist, performer, creator, etc.) attempt to influence the audience’s thoughts and feelings? Are they successful? Why or why not? Your analysis must showcase your ability to apply the concepts we’ve learned ‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‌these past few weeks: the Aristotelian appeals, logical fallacies, connotation, ambiguity, etc.. Don’t try to write about all the elements and rhetorical choices, or your paper may be too broad, resulting in a shallow analysis. The idea here is for sustained and detailed analysis.
