Talk:Rhetoric and Composition/Rhetorical Analysis

From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection

I am not sure we are really need to talk about how to write an essay (i.e. thesis statements) in how to write a rhertorical analysis. I think the bigger situation that needs to be addressed is what is seen in the numbered list. Shouldn't we expand on these a bit?

I also think somewhere someone should mention how a rhetorical analysis differs from a review. What about a section on Aristotle's rhetoric? Ethos, pathos, logos?

Today I just made the page look more aesthetically pleasing, while making some minor grammatical corrections. Later this week I'll try adding more content.

12/4 Does anyone think we should put up an exemplary rhetorical analysis? It might be a nice thing to have. I found some good ones online, and have a couple from past classes, but would need to get the appropriate people's permission.

11/12/08 I am in the process of elaborating this entire page. I have already added a fairly comprehensive list of fallacies, and am working next on the rhetorical devices beyond the Aristotelian pathos, ethos, and logos.
