6. Suggestions for Introduction
Begin your essay by addressing the text’s context. Ask yourself questions like:
Why and where is this argument happening? What is the rhetorical situation? (Occasion and Subject)
Who is the speaker?
Who is the specific audience?
What is the speaker’s purpose? (What is he trying to convince his audience of? What are his goals for the text?)
How does he achieve this purpose? What tools does he use?
When you combine these essential elements, your thesis may look something like this:
“(The author) uses (these tools) to effectively/ineffectively convince (the audience) that (his argument).”
(The author) uses rhetoric to effectively/ineffectively argue that (his argument)

7. Suggested Format – Intro – Sentence #1
Address Speaker, Occasion, and Subject
(Writer’s credentials), (writer’s first and last name), in his/her (type of text), (title of text), (strong verb) (writer’s subject).
In chapter ___ of his book Outliers
Sample:
Well-known essayist and writer, Joan Didion, in her essay, The Santa Ana, describes the mood altering effects of the Santa Ana winds on human behavior.

8. Suggested Format – Intro – Sentence #2
2. Address purpose (Writer’s last name)’s purpose is to (what the writer does in the text). Didion’s purpose is to impress upon readers the idea that the winds themselves change the way people act and react.

9. Suggested Format – Intro – Sentence #3
3. Address Audience He/she adopts a[n] (adjective describing the attitude/feeling conveyed by the writer) tone in order to (verb phrase describing what the writer wants readers to do/think) in his/her (intended audience). Sample: She creates a dramatic tone in order to convey to her readers the idea that the winds are sinister and their effects escapable.

10. Sample Introduction – using previous format
Novelist, Amy Tan, in her narrative essay, “Fish Cheeks,” recounts an embarrassing Christmas Eve dinner when she was 14 years old. Tan’s purpose is to convey the idea that, at fourteen, she wasn’t able to recognize the love her mother had for her or the sacrifices she made. She adopts a sentimental tone in order to appeal to similar feelings and experiences in her adult readers.

11. Sample Introduction (a different option)
A woman’s work is never done: many American women grow up with this saying and feel it to be true. One such woman, author Jessica Grose, wrote “Cleaning: The Final Feminist Frontier,” published in 2013 in the New Republic, and she argues that while the men in our lives recently started taking on more of the childcare and cooking, cleaning still falls unfairly on women. Grose begins building her credibility with personal facts and reputable sources, citing convincing facts and statistics, and successfully employing emotional appeals; however, toward the end of the article, her attempts to appeal to readers’ emotions weaken her credibility and ultimately, her argument.

12. Tips for Writing Body of Rhetorical Analysis
Use the steps introduced yesterday.
FYI: If writing a full analysis of a text, it is crucial that you work chronologically through the text. This means that you start at the beginning of the text and work your way through it by discussing what the writer is saying and the effectiveness of the strategies he/she is using at the beginning, middle, and end of the text. (You will do this with next Rhetorical Analysis)
For this Rhetorical Analysis – you are shortening this – focusing on something Gladwell does at the beginning and then another element after that. (within the same chapter)

13. Suggestions for Conclusion
Keep it at 2-3 sentences
Simply remind readers of what you said in your intro
Emphasize your analysis this way.
