In the two samples we read for homework, the main topic of the essay is immediately introduced. However, each is about a very different topic: one political and the other focuses on pop culture. The sample about hip-hop is a lot less formal than the political one about Saddam Hussein.
After reading these two samples, along with Monday’s sample, I think my rhetorical analysis should include a topic sentence and a strong thesis at the very least. Each writer used different techiques to introduce their argument or topic, such as a quote or strong statement. I think introducing a rhetorical analysis in an interesting way is just as important as stating all of the points that you will outline in your paper.
