Finals Review

Your Task: Write an essay in which you analyze how each author builds their argument, and then argue your own position on the topic. Your essay should address the following:

1. What rhetorical strategies (such as appeals to logic, emotion, or credibility; use of evidence; word choice; or structure) does each author use to persuade readers?

2. How effective are these strategies? Which author makes a more convincing case, and why?

3. What is your own position on this issue? Use reasoning and evidence to support your claim.
