Many Pages Excluding Rhetorical Analysis

Step 1: Select an article to analyze

Choose a piece of writing that was written by a professional in Accounting and Finance major or a field that is closely related to the major. The text should be at least 3 pages long so that you will have enough material to analyze and write about.

Step 2: Analyze the article that you selected

As a preliminary step, before you actually write your paper, try to answer the following questions about the article you are analyzing:

  • What do you think was the author’s purpose in producing this writing?
  • Who was the intended audience?
  • What genre does it represent?
  • What style and tone did the author use? (formal, informal)
  • What rhetorical appeals did the writer use? (ethos, pathos, and logos) (see more in Rhetorical Strategies attachment)
  • What strategies were used to develop ideas? (description, narration, process analysis, compare and contrast, cause and effect, etc.) (see more in Rhetorical Strategies attachment)
  • How is the text organized, and why do you think the author chose this particular organizational pattern? Is there a particular format that is used?
  • Why do you think the author included or omitted particular information?
  • What kinds of evidence did the author include to support his/her point of view, and how was that evidence used?Step 3: Decide which rhetorical appeals and strategies you will focus on in your paper. (pick at least 3 strategies)A writer might use many appeals and strategies, but some are more important than others in achieving the writer’s purpose. So you need to be selective; choose those that you think are the most important (or most interesting) and write about them in your body paragraphs.Step 4: Write your paper***Please read the RA Assignment Sheet and Rhetorical Strategies carefully for more details.
