Find the thesis. Write the first paragraph and put the thesis, which is the PERSUASIVE ARGUMENT at the end of the first paragraph. Be sure to include the full name of the author and the full name of the essay. A persuasive argument is not a fact. It must be something the author is trying to persuade the reader to do or think.
Write the rest of the essay showing various methods the author uses to convince the reader of that thesis. Do not find one thing and write every paragraph on it. Do not repeat yourself. Look at all the handouts and the video on rhetorical analysis.
Do not write a summary of the essay. Do not discuss the essay topic AT ALL. If the author is trying to convince the reader that the Iran deal is a bad one, you should not discuss the Iran deal AT ALL. Not at all, not one word of your opinion about this issue. Your only job is to look at how the AUTHOR tried to convince the reader. Never use "you" in a formal essay, avoid slang and casual chatter about the topic. Do not discuss the topic at all (did I say that already?)
This is not about the topic. It is about strategies that authors use to convince people what to think or do.
Must use quotes from the essay you have chosen, related back to the Works Cited, which will ONLY be the article you have chosen to analyze.
First paragraph must have the full name of the author, full name of the article, and the thesis statement of the article.
You must not use first person or express your opinion about anything in the article. Do not summarize. Your job is to tell your reader what the article is trying to persuade the reader to think or do and HOW that author is trying to do it. Then each paragraph must say how the author is attempting to convince the reader. We already know what the article is about, but what is it trying to convince you of?
A thesis is NEVER a question. It is a persuasive statement. It isn't like "The author is trying to convince the reader that there are five ways to answer the phone." That is not a persuasive statement because everyone knows there are probably dozens of ways to answer a phone. So there's no point in trying to convince anyone. A thesis statement is an argument, not a statement of fact, information, or a rebuttal of some other question. It wants to convince the reader of something the reader does not want to believe, so it takes some effort. You have to decide how that effort is made.
At the end, in your conclusion, you should examine how effective the argument is. You can't know how effective it is because you don't know the outcome, whether people were or were not convinced. But you can guess if it was PROBABLLY convincing because of its rhetorical strategies, or whether it was not successful because of ineffective strategies that were simply not convincing.
