Q Analyzing Rhetorical Choices is the MOST IMPORTANT part of a Textual Analysis essay. Breaking down how an argument is made, what choices the writer made to create their argument, and explaining how and why and the effect of each choice will be about 80-90% of this paper. Rhetorical Choices are numerous and every argument has a plethora. When looking for rhetorical choices, think about these ideas: 1. How is the argument constructed? 2. How does the writer try to convince me or achieve their purpose? 3. What interesting or unique things does the writer do to present their argument to me? With all of this in mind now move onto the reading.

Q Task: Read NFG Ch. 31 (pp. 343-347). Reflect. Answer one or more of the following questions: What stands out to you about the chapter? What did you learn about assessing your own writing? What do you still need to revise in your textual analysis? Do you need more evidence and support? Do you need to write a more concise summary of the text or is there already too much? Is there enough rhetorical analysis? etc. Requirements: • 100+ words
