Observe, describe, and analyze the rhetorical situation around one of these works: 1. Barack Obama, "The Audacity of Hope" (July 27, 2004; 11:09 PM); 2. Ludacris, "Runaway Love," Release Therapy, 3. Malcolm X, "Letter from Mecca." The essay must have these features: 1. Title, heading, page numbers, and a staple, 2. Introduction, 3. Essay body, 4. Conclusion, 5. Works Cited page for research to supporting facts (like biographical details). In your essay, address the specific and salient features of the rhetorical situation: 1. Rhetor's profile (who is making the argument and what should we know about her or him?), 2. place/location and time, 3. exigence, 4. kairos, 5. media/genre, 6. rules of communication, and 7. audience. Develop at least one paragraph on each component of the rhetorical situation. Some components, like the exigence, may need more than one paragraph. Your report must describe the rhetorical situation in detail. The essay must be at least 750 words long. You must include a word count at the end of the essay. You cannot describe the entire rhetorical situation in 3 or 4 pages; so, you must select the most important and powerful aspects of the rhetorical situation. Use the new (2016) MLA format for the in-text citations and Works Cited page. Do not agree with, disagree with, belittle, lampoon, exalt, or otherwise engage the speech. Your position for this assignment should be objective and analytical. Remember to use your resources! The Library and my office are open to you.
