Of the different samples of rhetorical analysis, I noticed that all of the introductions did exactly what they are suppossed to do, which is introduce what they are going to be discussing further in the paper. Each introduction told the reader what piece of writing they would be analyzing, the author of the piece, and where and when the piece was published. The analyses all gave a brief overview of the book or article, and gave us an idea of the author’s point of the piece as well as the subjecct matter of the piece.

After reading these, I think this means a good intro for an analysis should introduce what you will be writing about, including title, author, and date. The intro should also include the main point or subject of the book or article.
