Pick a piece of multimedia on which to do your analysis. You may choose to do a TV commercial . You will need to give me a link to whatever piece of media that you choose to analyze. Keeping in mind the textbook, videos and handout that we looked at, you will need to determine how the creator of the media used the following:
• Audience
• Purpose
• Style or voice
• Ethos
• Pathos
• Logos
• Underlying message
Choose 3-4 of these rhetorical elements to discuss in your paper.
As with any essay, you will need to include an introduction telling what you are analyzing and its creator (if known), a hook and a well-developed thesis statement. In addition, you will need several body paragraphs with supporting evidence and a conclusion. Remember, the focus in a rhetorical analysis is on how creator gets their point across rather than specifically what they say.
Be sure to include whether or not you think the piece of media made its point effectively or not and give examples.
