Rhetorical Analysis

Write a critique of the following text. Try keeping these questions/criteria in mind:

How is the story presented, hard or soft news? How is the presentation representative of the journal or magazine? Is the ethos of author apparent? Explain how the three parts of rhetoric (ethos, pathos, and logos) are used.

You may also want to research the publisher and see if it's reputation affects the representation of the story (if a newspaper is generally thought to be biased, explain how this bias influences the article). You will also want to find similar stories in other publications and explain any inconsistencies/deviations.

Furthermore, you should go beyond writing a summary. Analysis demands a deeper understanding and an informed interpretation of the text.

When complete, email your document as an attachment to your instructor.
