Description
Task
Use the attached reading to work out an Aristotelian analysis of the argument in that reading (find the thesis and supporting points). Try to identify the different components of the rhetorical triangle (Ethos, Logos, and Pathos), and determine whether the reading has a “balanced” argument according to those criteria. Work this argument out in a separate document for better results. Although a shorter work, this is still a formal paper. Ensure the paper is cohesive and coherent: there should be an introduction; body with background information, definitions, and support; and a conclusion.
Process
● Use a chart or worksheet to identify quotes within each of the different appeals
● Use a minimum of two direct quotes and one paraphrase from the readings
● Use a minimum of three sources in the paper for background information
● Write out a longer-form argument of your outline
● Introduce your argument: Was the reading balanced around the appeals or not? Was something missing? Was it an effective argument by the author?
● Provide background on Aristotle and the appeals
● Provide evidence to support your argument about the reading (using quotes) based on your analysis of the rhetorical triangle
● Conclude your paper
● Provide a proper list of documentation (APA style)
