3/25
After I actaully wrote my rough draft, I still feel like I didn’t write my rhetorical analysis how one should be written. Since my PSA is more of a joke one, I felt like it was harder to analyze it and give examples. Mine was also very short. I think for what I chose, I did an allright job. I did find a serious message behind it about eating healthy, so I used that as well to add on to the sarcasm and humor part. I just want to get others’ feedback to see what they think and what I need to do or if I totally did it incorrectly.
Karie,
I’m looking forward to reading your PSA because clearly Jim is right – the black jellybeans are the worst ones 🙂 If you want to send a draft to me this evening I can try to give you feedback. You said you feel like you didn’t write your rhetorical analysis the way one should be written and that makes me wonder two things: 1. how should a rhetorical analysis be written? and 2. how is your rhetorical analysis not meeting those criteria? I should have time this evening or later this week to comment on your draft if you’d like my feedback.
Let me know if you have more questions.

Your PSA certainly has a sarcastic tone to it, which is an important point to address, why the authors choose this appeal over others. Is your PSA to inform, motivate, educate? Those could be some questions that you could use. Also, you could talk about the credibility of the author: why should we believe that guy and his opinion? Another important topic you could discuss is the some limitations. Why is this topic relevant, or is it the underlying message. Was sarcasm and humor the best route to take? What about his opinion, why is it relevant.
Overall you have a fabulous start and I know you will do great, because you are Karie, and your pretty much sweet like that.
🙂 Olivia
