Rhetorical Analysis Essay
Assignment: A rhetorical analysis essay analyzes HOW an author argues rather than what an author argues. It focuses on the “rhetorical” features of a text—the author’s situation, purpose for writing, intended audience, kinds of claims, and types of evidence—to show HOW the author tries to persuade the reader.
Source that needs to be analyzed: https://theconversation.com/how-culture-influences-childrens-development-99791
Argument being stated: How culture does influence a child’s development.
***To be very clear, you are not writing an argument about the source. You are analyzing how culture does influence a child’s development – describing how the writer/creator of it is trying to persuade and providing support from the article source. (Source link: https://theconversation.com/how-culture-influences-childrens-development-99791)
