Sample Rhetorical analysis

March 18, 2009

In sample readings, the writers do a very good job with analyzing the author’s subject, how  the subject is worded, and why the author they are analyzing uses the techniques that is chosen.  I think that the sample about the Powell’s article is a good demonstration of how the writer of the the rhetorical analysis pinpoints what is being said and explaining what it means.  An example of him consicely explaining what Powell says, is when he talks about how Powell wanted to argue for rappers to take hip hop in a more positive direction but knew that if he was to criticize rappers for being appearing gangser like in their songs in a mainstream article, then he would also have to show his devotion for hip pop so people would want to listen.

However what really makes a good rhetorical analysis is setting the tone of the paper at the introduction.  The samples show that by having a good introduction it helps the overall paper because the introduction gives the paper a direction.  The different points in the essay will be specific and having an introduction that  previews what will be talken about always helps the writer to be able to explain the subject better to the audience.
