Compose a writing in which you DISCUSS each of the following rhetorical elements in Alice Wong's "The Last Straw": rhetor, audience, exigence, constraints, context, text, and the rhetorical appeals used in it. Link to the article: https://www.eater.com/2018/7/19/17586742/plastic-straw-ban-disabilities Procedure 1. As you outline/plan your writing, compose the thesis statement and topic sentences for it, and identify each of the elements of the rhetorical situation in which the text was created: rhetor, context, exigence, audience, constraints, text, as well as the rhetorical appeals used in it. The order of these elements in your writing is not necessarily that listed in the sentence above; however, keep in mind that specific elements should appear in your discussion prior to others. For example, it would not make sense to open with the rhetorical appeals before your audience is introduced to the text where these appeals are used, just as it would not make sense to exclude the discussion of the context, rhetor, and exigence from the opening sections of your writing. 2. Get more specific. For each item on your outline/list, include its definition in your own words and description that is more like a brief paragraph and less like a sentence or two, which also means that you will have at least as many paragraphs in your writing as there are elements of the rhetorical situation, possibly more. As an example, a rhetor could be, "Walt Mossberg." But a more relevant and helpful content in this section of your discussion would be, "Walt Mossberg is the rhetor and former principal technology columnist for The Wall Street Journal for twenty-two years, creator of the modern technology-product review. His decades of experience writing about consumer products makes him an authority when evaluating this latest product launch." Be sure to include plenty of quotations from the essay to support your discussion of each element. 3. Consider what you discovered about the essay by completing this rhetorical analysis. What do you now understand that you didn't catch the first time you read the text? Add this brief concluding reflection to your writing, explaining the value of performing this kind of analysis. Title this portion of the assignment “Mini Reflection" and include it at the end of your written document.
