1. Read the selected text carefully, keeping in mind the two-fold goal of rhetorical analysis:
   • Analyze how well the rhetorical elements work together to create a fitting response.
   • Evaluate the overall effectiveness of that response.
2. Write paragraphs responding to specific questions, citing material from the text to support each answer.
   • Who created the text? What credentials or expertise does that person or group have? Why is the creator of the text engaged with this opportunity? Is this an opportunity that can be modified through language? What opinions or biases did the person or group bring to the text?
   • Who is the audience for the message? What relationship is the creator of the text trying to establish with the audience? What opinions or biases might the audience hold? How might the audience feel about this rhetorical opportunity? And, most importantly, can this audience modify or help modify the rhetorical opportunity? How?
   • Identify the rhetorical elements of the message itself. In other words, where and how does the person or group employ the rhetorical appeals of ethos, pathos, and logos? How are credentials, goodwill, or good sense evoked to establish ethos? How is evidence (examples, statistics, data, and so forth) used to establish logos? And how is an emotional connection created to show pathos? Keep in mind that the rhetorical appeals can sometimes overlap.
   • What is the primary message or argument that the author is trying to convey through this essay? What is the broader context or purpose behind the author's decision to write this essay? How does the essay fit into larger social, cultural, or academic conversations? What potential biases, assumptions, or perspectives does the author bring to their argument, and how might these influence the audience's reception of the topic? Ultimately, what action, change, or understanding does the author hope to inspire in the audience through this topic?
3. Analyze the parts of the text and evaluate the overall effectiveness based on the identified criteria.

As you begin, search your answers for an idea that can serve as your claim or thesis. For example, you might focus on the declared goalif there is oneof the creator of the text and whether it has been achieved.

You might evaluate how successfully that creator has identified the rhetorical audience, shaped a fitting response, or employed the best available means.

Or you might focus on the use of rhetorical appeals and the overall success of their use.

Whether or not you agree with the text is beside the point. Your job is to analyze how and how well the text's creator has accomplished the purpose of that text.

Example:

For Example: If I were interested in the art piece Nude in the Sunlight by Renoir, I might use an article in Figaro-Salon where Albert Wolff described Renoir's painting as a "mass of flesh in the process of decomposition, with green and violet spots which denote the state of complete putrefaction of a corpse." With such a strong, negative reaction, I would have a lot to talk about in analyzing the way Mr. Wolff discussed the painting. I could discuss his use of Pathos in words like "flesh" and "putrefaction of a corpse." I would also be able to discuss his Ethos because Albert Wolff was a noted critic when Renoir painted and is known to have hated the impressionist artists. Finally, I would discuss Logos and how Mr. Wolff talked about how the impressionists and Renoir were not good as artists because he was comparing them specifically to the realists. For each part of my essay, I would need to use examples from the text to show the strength of the writing by Mr. Wolff.

The key to remember is that this is an analysis of the article, NOT an analysis of the artist.
