Analyzing a Text Rhetorically
Our recent class readings focus on reading and writing rhetorically (Chapters 2 & 11 in The Norton Field Guide to Writing). We have discussed some key concepts such as the rhetorical context, purpose, audience, genre, stance, and media/design. We have learned that when we read a “text” (e.g., an image, piece of writing, cultural event/artifact) we need to pay attention to how the text communicates to its audience and achieves its purpose. When we write, we need to consider carefully the specific situation for which we write. Analyzing a text from a rhetorical perspective will help you make observations about a text, read it critically, and recognize/identify the rhetorical moves others make to communicate to their audiences and to prompt cooperation and collaboration with their audiences.

In this writing project assignment, you will choose a text and analyze it through a rhetorical lens. This assignment provides you with an opportunity to evaluate and analyze the rhetorical context and rhetorical moves/strategies of your chosen text. For your analysis, you may choose a political speech, a newspaper article, an academic essay, or an advertisement. You may need to address these questions: What historical/social/political situation does the author respond to? What are the author’s purposes? What message does the author hope to convey? Who is the intended audience? What effects does the text have on the reader? What specific rhetorical strategies does the author use to establish their ethos/credibility and to appeal logically and/or emotionally to the reader? How do these strategies/textual features help the author deliver their message? How successfully does the author communicate their ideas to the reader?

When you analyze your chosen text, do some research to find out its social, historical, cultural contexts and the author’s background, read the text closely, and identify its rhetorical strategies. You may quote specific phrases/sentences to support your interpretation of the text. Examine in detail how and why the writer uses specific words, phrases, sentences, images, and statistics. Think about how the author arranges words, including the order in which they appear and their function in specific sentences. Providing thorough explanations of how your textual examples connect to your observations is key to an in-depth analysis.

You should use the analytical tools we have been practicing in class, your class notes about the rhetorical situation and rhetorical appeals, sample essays (see Chapter 2, Chapter 11, and Chapter 61 in The Norton Field Guide to Writing), and your weekly reading responses to help you develop your essay.

Finally, be sure to pay attention to your own rhetorical context as you write: what is your purpose for writing? who is your audience, and why should they care about your analysis of your chosen text? Make your analysis matter by giving your readers specific reasons to care about your analysis.

Feedback and Assessment
As I read your essays, I will consider the following questions:

Does the essay have a clear controlling idea thoroughly developed throughout the essay?
Does the essay provide a detailed analysis of the rhetorical context/situation of the chosen text? Does the essay situate the text in its social, historical, and cultural context?
Does the essay examine the major rhetorical strategies used by the author?
Do the paragraphs develop well-defined claims with specific textual examples and detailed explanations of their implications?
Does the essay use secondary sources appropriately to help develop the analysis?
Are the paragraphs linked together into a well-developed and coherent interpretation of the chosen text?
Do the sentences of the essay express the writer’s ideas clearly and effectively?
This is not an argument paper in the traditional sense; that is, you don’t argue with your chosen author. Your role is to make observations about how the author makes his/her argument and whether the author’s rhetorical moves are effective (so in a sense, your thesis will make claims about how effective or ineffective the author’s rhetorical moves are).

Specifications
Development
Your essay should be between 1200-1500 words in length and formatted in MLA style. This means you should use a 12 point font, double-line space, and 1″ margins all around the page.

Sources
Your essay should include 2-3 secondary sources. These sources are in addition to the primary text you choose for your analysis. These secondary sources can come from our textbook, our library, trustworthy or reputable websites, other reactions, responses, or critiques of the text you’ve chosen, or newspapers. You may use encyclopedia and dictionary entries, but they don’t count as one of the 2-3 secondary sources you need. However, please avoid at all costs doing a Google search for “rhetorical analysis of [insert the name of your text here]” – your analysis should be your original and genuine thinking.

Key Features of Textual Analyses
A concise description of the text
Not everyone will be familiar with thing you’re analyzing, so you need to summarize/describe/explain it to them a little bit (more or less depending on how familiar your audience might be with the text)
Attention to the text’s context
Texts don’t exist in isolation; you need to situate the text you’re analyzing and your analysis of the text within the broader social, cultural, or historical context of the text
Try to answer this question: how is your analysis of the text relevant to your audience in 2023?
A clear interpretation or judgment of the text
You get to be the judge of how “good” you think the text is
Reasonable support for your conclusions
Use lots of examples from the text to support your interpretation/judgment/opinion
For example…
Childish Gambino’s music video “This Is America” effectively establishes a striking contrast between easy-going fun and the gun violence that is plaguing the United States (particularly in the Black community). For example, in the opening sequence of the video… [describe the scene] (00:00:30) (HH:MM:SS)

What’s a “rhetorical question”? It’s a question where the asker isn’t asking the question in order to get an answer.

Why ask a question when you’re not looking for an answer?
Rhetorical question purpose:
Make a statement
Prompt the audience to think
The asker already knows the answer (and maybe the audience does too)

If a “rhetorical question” means asking a question with a specific purpose in mind and having a specific audience in mind, then rhetoric might have something to do with thinking about language and communication with audience and purpose in mind.
Rhetorical Analysis
What might it mean to analyze something rhetorically? What might a “rhetorical analysis” do?
Interpreting a text with purpose (i.e. to analyze the text from a rhetorical perspective)
Read a text carefully to identify elements of its rhetorical situation
Purpose, Audience, Genre, Stance, and Media/Design
Persuasion
Prompting the audience to cooperate with the creator/speaker/author/etc.
Prompting cooperation
Prompting teamwork
6yt
This prompting can happen through good, purposeful appeals to logos, pathos, ethos, and kairos.

Who should historians blame for the Cold War and why?
Students should write an argumentative essay that discusses in full at least 3 pieces of evidence. That evidence should be analyzed in the context of the question—who should historians blame for the Cold War and why?
Essay Structure:
–The introduction paragraph (about 5-7 sentences) must contain a thesis statement. The thesis statement, your argument, is the answer to the question—who should historians blame for the Cold War and why? It’s always a good idea for students, after the thesis statement in the introduction, to include tidbits of information that will help the reader understand the scope of the argument. In this case, a couple of sentences explaining the “why” part of the question. Put differently, the thesis statement needs to be more than simply “The US is to blame for the Cold War.” The thesis statement, and the sentences that follow, need to be as explanatory as possible given the limited space.

–The body paragraphs should all start with a topic sentence—the first sentence of every paragraph should explain what the point of the paragraph is and how that point relates to the thesis. Your reader should be able to understand the different parts of the argument simply by reading each topic sentence. Each body paragraph needs to focus on developing, discussing, and analyzing at least one piece of evidence—an incident, a policy, a conflict, a decision, a person—something that can be pointed to as proof of your argument. The pieces of evidence selected should be as specific as possible. You must have evidence. Without evidence there is no argument. And if there is not an argument, the objectives of the assignment are left incomplete.

–Each reason or cause for blame of the Cold War (the evidence) should be given a full analysis. Analysis is different from narrative description in the sense that analysis ties the discussion about the evidence, in this case the event/policy/decision/person that led to the Cold War, back to the argument. Analysis gives the evidence purpose by directing the discussion of the evidence back to the argument. Avoid a general narration of events.

–Be sure to avoid writing a general summary of the Cold War, instead focus on the question and argument. Try to make sentence count toward proving the argument. I always recommend that students look at each sentence and think to themselves, how does this sentence help illustrate the argument.

–Each essay should contain a short, formal conclusion (final paragraph) that restates the central themes discussed in the body paragraphs, offers broader conclusions about American history, or even tries to connect the paper to contemporary events.

Students should not to extend their analysis past the mid-1950s. Remember you only 4 pages, taking the discussion past the early 1950s would be beyond the scope and scale of the essay.
