Part One: Plan Your Work. Only 300 WORD! SOME ONE WHO CAN FINISH IT BEFORE TODAY ENDS!!!

First, provide a copy of the text you plan to analyze. You can do this by inserting or attaching a file, or by providing a link to it in your reply to this forum.

Then, post answers to the following questions: 

• What is the basic history/background information about the text you chose? How does this text respond to its context?
• Why did you choose this text? What do you find interesting or compelling about it?
• Who is the author? (Remember: an author can be an individual or a group of people, like a company.) Does the author have expertise or credentials that would be appealing for a particular group of people? Does the author have any ulterior motives/biases that may have influenced the rhetorical design of the text?
• Who seems to be the audience for the message? (Be specific! Very few texts, if any, are really intended for a so-called “general audience.”) How do you know who the audience is?
• What argument do you think the text is making? What message is the text trying to communicate? What is the purpose of the text?
• Do you think the argument is effective in communicating its message to its audience? In general, did the author succeed or fail in this rhetorical situation? In other words, was this a fitting response? How do you know? What rhetorical components of the text are especially compelling (consider rhetorical appeals, methods of development, etc.) Provide at least one example of a rhetorical element or appeal that you find interesting. In a few sentences analyze this example by showing how it appeals (or not) to the intended audience.
• What genre did the author choose for this text? Does that genre seem to fit the message and audience
