my rough draft is the link and I do need a final draft. This is the what my teacher said for my final draft. if you could just add more to make it within 1,000-1,300 words please!
In our last assignment, we rhetorically analyzed an advertisement by focusing on intended audience and emotional appeals. We are noticing and understanding that anytime we participate with media, we engage with other peoples’ beliefs, stances, opinions, and arguments. In our class, then, we are looking at how authors in various types of media have discussed, analyzed, and confronted a controversial issue from their own personal viewpoint.
For this assignment, please rhetorically analyze two articles and/or videos on the same topic or controversial issue. You are welcome to choose a topic/issue we have discussed in class lectures, but please do not choose the same topic or sources you did for Essay #1, or the sources that I have used in lectures. Remember: a rhetorical analysis, as well as compare & contrast, are BOTH argumentative essays. We will discuss how to write arguments within both of these subgenres of argument.
Your essay is analytical, evaluative, and argumentative, meaning you look at both what and how the authors are making their arguments and you have a clear stance on how effectively or ineffectively they have made their arguments. Your thesis (and stance) are not your own view on the issue/controversy; your thesis is your argument on how these authors made their argument concerning the issue/controversy. Also, you are required to rhetorically analyze induction, deduction, premises, conclusions, and/or fallacies in your rhetorical analysis, not just the key terms we went over in Essay #2. Your essay should have a structure that makes it easy for your reader to understand your argument and follow your thoughts. You should use a standard structure, such as: Introduction + Claim, Body Paragraphs, and Conclusion.
Your paper must be between 1,000-1,300 words and must follow the MLA Guidelines: double-spaced, 12-point font, Times New Roman, one-inch margins, with the appropriate header. The rubric for this assignment is on the back of this page and clearly explains how I will be grading your work. Again, I significantly mark down your grade if you are under the page requirement.
