Question:
Write an essay on “Rhetorical analysis about two documents about mechanical engineering”
For this essay, you will compare and analyze two documents that involve writing in your field for two different audiences.
Prompt: for this essay, you will rhetorically compare and analyze the writing of two documents related to your career field for two different audiences. one document needs to be a document used “internally” or within the particular career field. the second document should deal with similar issues or content but is written for an “external” audience (patients, general public, parents, etc.).in order to analyze rhetorically, consider the following areas: · rhetorical purpose (why?), audience (who?), context (where? when?) · pathos— how does the artifact appeal emotionally? what emotions are raised for the reader? how do the emotions advance the argument of the space? think about color, text, fonts, images. · logos— is the artifact logical? what facts seem to be presented? what evidence is used in support of the argument? how is the evidence arranged and presented? what claims are being made? what issues are being raised, and which ones are ignored or evaded? watch out for logical fallacies. · ethos— what ethos does it create, and exactly how does it do so? what values are attached to the ethos? how does the author attempt to appear trustworthy or credible? · kairos—what moment is the argument built on? what are the contexts—social, political, historical, cultural—for the argument of this space? whose interests does it serve? who wins or loses? then, develop an argument about this artifact. is it rhetorically effective? does it achieve its purpose? does it fall short in some way? are there implied or embedded messages within the artifact that it is critical for the reader to be aware of? what is the most influential rhetorical feature? how do the rhetorical elements interact? the key to remember with a rhetorical analysis is that you are not responding to the argument itself but analyzing how effectively the argument is constructed.
