Test 1 Part 2 Questions
For the following questions, I expect 3 or more paragraphs for each response. Your answers should reflect awareness of the assigned reading, the instructors lectures, the weekly discussions and your own ideas. Remember, I expect to see your original thought. I only want you to use the sources listed above and your own ideas (I dont want you to search for other sources).
1) How can a person be happy? Explain what Aristotle thinks happiness consists in, and how one can be happy. Differentiate primary and secondary goods.

Your first work is a rhetorical analysis worth 15%. The purpose of such work is to analyze an work or speech by breaking it in various parts and discussing how rhetorical tools are used for effective communication. You can choose to examine the three cornerstones of a rhetorical exercise: ethos, logos and pathos.

The work should be 2 to 3 pages. You will not take sides on the issue that the speaker is writing on; you will not summarize it or consult other sources. You will only analyze it.

How to Write a Rhetorical Analysis. Break down the work into its basic outline, which is the purpose of the piece, the appeals, evidence and techniques used. Next, break down the examples of appeals, evidence and techniques and finally offer an explanation of why they worked or did not in your opinion.
Find below the link and a clear example of the structure of the rhetorical analysis.
Sample Intro:
Martin Luther King, Jr.s I Have a Dream speech is widely regarded as one of the most important pieces of oratory in American history. Delivered in 1963 to thousands of civil rights activists outside the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., the speech has come to symbolize the spirit of the civil rights movement and even to function as a major part of the American national myth for this . This rhetorical analysis argues that Kings assumption of the prophetic voice, amplified by the historic size of his audience, creates a powerful sense of ethos that has retained its inspirational power over the years.
The body: Doing the analysis
The body of your rhetorical analysis is where youll tackle the text directly. Its often divided into three paragraphs, although it may be more in a longer work.
Each paragraph should focus on a different element of the text, and they should all contribute to your overall argument for your thesis statement.
Below is a sample body paragraph. Hover over the example to explore how a typical body paragraph is constructed.
Kings speech is infused with prophetic language throughout. Even before the famous dream part of the speech, Kings language consistently strikes a prophetic tone. He refers to the Lincoln Memorial as a hallowed spot and speaks of rising from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to make justice a reality for all of Gods children. The assumption of this prophetic voice constitutes the texts strongest ethical appeal; after linking himself with political figures like Lincoln and the Founding Fathers, Kings ethos adopts a distinctly religious tone, recalling Biblical prophets and preachers of change from across history. This adds significant force to his words; standing before an audience of hundreds of thousands, he states not just what the future should be, but what it will be: The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges. This warning is almost apocalyptic in tone, though it concludes with the positive image of the bright day of justice. The power of Kings rhetoric thus stems not only from the pathos of his vision of a brighter future, but from the ethos of the prophetic voice he adopts in expressing this vision.
Concluding a rhetorical analysis
The conclusion of a rhetorical analysis wraps up the work by restating the main argument and showing how it has been developed by your analysis as at . It may also try to link the text, and your analysis of it, with broader concerns.
Sample conclusion below: Explore the example below to get a sense of the conclusion.
It is clear from this analysis that the effectiveness of Kings rhetoric stems less from the pathetic appeal of his utopian dream than it does from the ethos he carefully constructs to give force to his statements. By framing contemporary upheavals as part of a prophecy whose fulfillment will result in the better future he imagines, King ensures not only the effectiveness of his words in the moment but their continuing resonance today. Even if we have not yet achieved Kings dream, we cannot deny the role his words played in setting us on the path toward it.
