This must be a rhetorical essay Skylar Diggins explains the real disparity in NBA vs. WNBA money (article that can be googled from USA Today or other online resources). Your rhetorical analysis should be an essay in which you develop a thesis about an argument someone else has made without simply taking sides on the issue. Thus, your thesis will not be about the topic per se (Darts should be an Olympic sport.) but about someone elses attempt to make an argument on this topic (Xs attempt to add darts to the Olympics rests on a definition of sport which few will agree with.). The evidence for your claims will often be quotations from the text you are analyzing. In the course of your analysis, you might consider:? The kind of argument being made ?The writers purpose/situation ?The persuasive strategies being used ?The structure of the argument ?The audiences beliefs or response ?The style or genre chosen by the author No matter what aspects you focus on, you will want to pay attention to the role these play in determining the effectiveness of the text. The topics or arguments that you cover could be drawn from a variety of media and sources. You are only limited by your ability to think rhetorically about the communication that goes on around you. This assignment should be 3-5 pages. You do not need to use outside sources beyond the text you are analyzing, although you should free to do Masonso if you find it helpful. You also do not need to do a works cited, or use any formal method of in-text citation, but it should be clear to the reader when you are quoting form a text, and which text the quotation is from.
