What appeals are used to persuade/move the audience to be receptive to the claim?

ENG 1520 Rhetorical Analysis Essay Prompt
Rhetorical analysis involves exploring an argument’s rhetorical strategies to gauge the effectiveness of the argument. It’s not an assessment of whether you agree or disagree with the argument itself. Instead, rhetorical analysis requires you to examine the types of appeals (ethos, pathos, logos) and how the different parts of an argument come together to achieve a purpose. In short, it is a close look into HOW an author communicates their argument as opposed to focusing on the argument itself.
For your rhetorical analysis you are to choose a song or speech (link to speeches provided). To make your analysis more engaging, try choosing a song or speech that conveys a of message (social commentary). You may need to conduct some basic research on the artist/speaker, and the issue(s) addressed in the song/speech you choose to contextualize your analysis.
If you are analyzing a song it can be from any genre, and explicit content is fine. However, be sure to use good judgment when deciding what lyrics to quote in your essay. During the prewriting stage, think about the points you wish to make in your analysis. Though the song you choose is completely up to you, it would be in your best interest to choose a song that makes a clear argument.
Once you have chosen your song, begin analyzing its components:
• Artist/Speaker – Who is the artist/speaker? What have they produced? What is their track record? What is their authority to speak on the subject in the song/speech?
• Context – Examine the historical, political, social, or cultural situation that the song/speech responds to, or that inspired the song. What was going on at the time the piece was created?
• Lyrics/Words – What claim(s) does the song/speechmake? What appeals are used to persuade/move the audience to be receptive to the claim? Who is being targeted?
• Impact –Is the argument convincing – why or why not?
Organize your thoughts and your writing around a specific, well-worded thesis. The thesis is the most important sentence in your entire essay, so consider it carefully. The thesis can offer either an overall evaluation of the song’s effectiveness, or an encapsulation of its general rhetorical strategy, “With its vivid imagery and haunting track, Wu-Tang Clan’s C.R.E.A.M appeals to listeners’ logic and emotion as the song exposes the underbelly of a money-driven society.”
This assignment will also require you to do some basicresearch. Look into the artist’s/speaker’s background and the historical period of the music/speech. You will not need to cite basic biographical information. However, you will need to cite at least two credible sources, though more could enrich your essay. Your citation may be a news article related to the issue in your song/speech, quotes from a review of that artist’s work, an interview with the artist/speaker, and/or a source describing the artist’s/speaker’s influences or body of work. If the song/speech is particularly controversial or has been censored, look for a source explaining the controversy surrounding the work. Again, feel free to use more than one source, but for this essay, yours should be the dominant voice.

What qualifies the author to speak on the subject at hand? Consider the artist’s background. Also, think about the other music in their catalog. Do they have a history of making songs with content similar to the one you chose?
Does the artist appeal to the audience’s emotions to persuade them? Is this an effective strategy? Does it interfere with an author’s message, or does it promote it?
Does the artist appeal to the audience’s logic by using well-reasoned ideas? What examples/evidence does the artist use to illustrate their claims? Do they work?

Carefully read the article to support
Despite repeated promises to get her life together, Daphne likes to hang out most nights in the Public Gardens and drink with neighborhood kids. On more than one occasion she went to the park with her friend and confidant Chris, a quiet boy who had his own set of personal problems. His parents had separated, and subsequently he began to suffer severe anxiety attacks. He stayed home from school and was diagnosed with depression for which he took two drugs—Zoloft, an antidepressant, and Lorazepam, a sedative .One night, Daphne and Chris met up with Michael, a 44-year-old man with a long history of alcohol problems. After a night of drinking, a fight broke out and Michael was stabbed, his throat cut, and his body dumped in the pond. Daphne was quickly arrested when soon after the attack she placed a 911 call to police, telling them that a friend had “jumped in the lake and didn’t come out.” Police searched the area and found Michael’s slashed and stabbed body in the water; he had been disemboweled by Chris and Daphne in an attempt to sink the body. At a waiver hearing, Daphne admits that she participated in the killing but cannot articulate what caused her to get involved. She had been drinking and remembers little of the events. She says that she was flirting with Michael and that Chris stabbed him in a jealous rage. She speaks in a flat, hollow voice and shows little remorse for her actions. It was a spur-of-the-moment thing, she claims, and after all it was Chris, not she herself, who had the knife. Later Chris testifies, claiming that Daphne instigated the fight and egged him on, taunting him that he was too scared to kill someone. Chris says that when she was drunk, Daphne often talked of killing an adult because she hated older people, especially her parents. Daphne’s parents claim that although she has been a burden with her mood swings and volatile behavior, she is still a child and can be helped with proper treatment. They are willing to supplement any state intervention with privately funded psychiatrists. Given that this is her first real offense and because of her age (14), her parents believe that home confinement with intense treatment is the best course. The district attorney, however, wants Daphne treated as an adult and waived to adult court where, if she is found guilty, she can receive a 25-year sentence for second-degree murder; there is little question of her legal culpability.
Take the role of a defense lawyer in the juvenile court. Write a brief to the juvenile court judge that could be used at the waiver hearing. Use your writing assignment to persuade the judge to keep Daphne in the juvenile court, where she could be treated rather than punished.
Explain how you would convince the court that Daphne’s crime was a function of some abnormal trait or condition that is amenable to treatment?
Be sure to refute the notion that she is a calculating criminal who understood the seriousness of her actions.
