1 ENGLISH 1301: Essentials of College Rhetoric Texas Tech University Unit III: Understanding Perspective Project 3: Rhetorical Analysis Prompt Select a text from the options provided by your teacher and write a rhetorical analysis of this artifact. Using a variety of rhetorical terms and concepts, assess the effectiveness of the author’s claims and overarching argument, as well as their various c hoices and strategies throughout the text. Further Explanation This assignment does not ask for you to provide simply a litany of terms or a “grocery list” of interesting rhetorical aspects of your choice. That is, you do not want to just “talk about” som e rhetorical features of your artifact. Instead, this assignment invites you to put your rhetorical knowledge to work by using the concepts that pertain most meaningfully to your artifact to evaluate the effectiveness of the rhetor’s choices and strategies . In short, for this paper you will make an argument about the effectiveness of a text and how it works rhetorically or has specific effects for a specific audience (or audiences) in its specific context(s). Your argument may be that a text is effective, i neffective, partially effective, or effective for some audiences but not others, because of certain rhetorical aspects of the text or ways it responds to (or doesn’t respon d to) the rhetorical situation. Your audience for this rhetorical analysis is other rhetorical scholars. While your instructor will be reading and grading this project, he or she will be reading it as a “general rhetorician.” Consequently, you do not need to define rhetorical terms from class that you’re using, but you shouldn’t assume a reader has intimate knowledge of the text you’re analyzing. Rhetorical Terms You Might Deploy in This Essay During this unit, we will introduce and cover the following rhetorical concepts, which you might deploy in this essay: Kairos Identification Situate d Ethos Invented Ethos Rhetorical Distance Pathos Enthymeme Logos Arrangement Mythos Values Cultural Logics Ideology (and others) 2 Expectations & Guidelines This is an academic paper with some structural constraints. In order to earn a C, your project shoul d conform to these guidelines: • Be 4-5 pages long with 1 -inch margins, double -spaced, in a readable 11 –12 pt. font • Include an accurate and fair summary of the artifact you are analyzing as the opening paragraph(s) • Include accurate description of the aspects of the rhetorical situation or context as they pertain to your artifact (this means identifying its purpose, audience(s), exigence, and relevant information about the rhetor) • Include a clear thesis that makes an evaluative claim about the artifact’ s effectiveness (a particularly effective thesis also helps readers by providing a “roadmap” of the essay) • Use at least three rhetorical concepts in sophisticated discussions of the artifact’s effectiveness (that is, concepts are not just deployed as a pas sing aside, but are instead integral to your analysis) • Have an effective title that is inviting to readers and helps readers preview the purpose and subject of your analysis • End with a conclusion that synthesizes your claims • Use MLA to cite the artifact an d any secondary research you’ve conducted, including in -text citations and a works cited page • Use clear language, and be carefully edited In order to earn an A or B, your essay should conform to the following degrees of excellence: • Your paper includes all the minimum requirements listed above. It thoroughly analyzes your artifact, offering a rich description of it and its context, but more importantly, goes beyond the superficial to analytically and critically explain the rhetoricity of the artifact. • Your e ssay is organized in a fashion that is appropriate for your argument and logically and carefully arranged. • The claims made in the paper cohere in order to make a coherent argument (through the use of transitions and linking back to the thesis ). • Paragraphs cohere, are clearly ordered, and transition smoothly. Paragraphs contain appropriate analytic topic sentences, which are supported with clear, concrete evidence and sound reasoning. • The paper makes points clearly and succinctly, avoiding wordiness and emp ty sentences. The paper’s argument is clearly stated in a thesis statement. • The paper’s conclusion moves toward the “so what,” making the analysis not solely an academic exercise, but an analysis that matters for readers. • The paper follows stylistic and fo rmatting conventions for standard academic English. Sentences are interesting, varied in form, and fairly free of surface errors.

Joanna For this discussion, I have chosen from the categories of economic characteristics employment status and housing characteristics housing tenure. The two variables specifically I have chosen are employed and owner-occupied housing, to see if there is a relationship between being employed and home ownership. The area the data is for is Grant Township, a subdivision of Lake County Illinois for 2013 through 2018. I hypothesize that there will be a positive relationship between the number of individuals employed and the number of owner-occupied housing. The scatterplot is as follows: The correlation coefficient is -.0369, a negative number close to zero. A correlation coefficient of zero, or close to it, means that for every increase, there isn’t a positive or negative increase (Glen, 2021). This concludes that there is no detectable relationship between the two variables I have chosen. My hypothesis that a relationship exists between the two has been refuted by the data. The reason I think I did not find a relationship is that many other factors may affect home ownership in addition to being employed. For example, when people get married, they normally would no longer have separate homes, but share one home. The number of people employed includes those aged 16 and up, who are legally eligible to work, therefore, if the increased employment numbers included school-aged teens or young adults, they are not likely to own their own homes, but rather still live with their parents or guardians.   The township may use the correlation between variables to determine how to best serve the community with businesses looking to build on available land or make improvements to high-traffic areas that bring in revenue for the city. According to Glen (2021), the Pearson correlation is not able to tell the difference between dependent and independent variables. . I don’t think there can be a definitive conclusion that one variable causes the other, only that there is a relationship as often there are multiple variables that can contribute to the outcome of another.

Mackenzie , For my two variables, I chose the number of people who have a bachelor’s degree between 2014 through 2019 and the number of people whose income was between $50,000 – $74,999 between 2014 through 2019.  For this situation, the correlation coefficient was positive at 0.105 between the two variables. Something I thought was interesting is that for some of the time, whenever one of the variables would go up or down, the other remaining variable would follow. This correlation is positive.  The benefits of this information would be to show the connection between those people who have obtained a bachelor’s degree earning higher incomes.  With my findings, I am finding it hard to either accept or reject my null hypothesis because I didn’t find my information to be super consistent. I do think that there is an overall weak relationship between the two variables.

Topic: Cloud computing R.2 Abstract of a Quantitative Research Article Overview: The term “abstract” is a homophone which can mean one of two scholarly writing activities. One, is the abstract that you will write to introduce your dissertation. The other meaning is a shortened writing assignment whereby you write a condensed summary of an academic journal.  For this week, we will focus on writing a scholarly abstract of a quantitative journal. More information about writing an abstract can be found via the web resource “Writing Scholarly Abstracts.” Directions: View the rubric and examples to make sure you understand the expectations of this assignment.  Create a 1-2 page (more is fine) single-spaced Analysis of Research abstract published quantitative scholarly article related to your mock dissertation topic/research question. Additionally, this assignment functions just like assignment R.1 only it reviews a quantitative article instead of a qualitative one. Brevity and being concise are important as this analysis is intended to be a brief summation of the research. Each abstract must therefore consist of the following in this order: Bibliographic Citation – use the correctly formatted APA style citation for the work as the title of your abstract, displaying the full citation in bold font. Author Qualifications – name and qualification of each author conducting the research Research Concern – one paragraph summary of the reason for the overall research topic Research Purpose Statement AND Research Questions or Hypotheses – specific focus of the research Precedent Literature – key literature used in proposing the needed research (not the full bibliography or reference list) Research Methodology – description of the population, sample, and data gathering techniques used in the research Instrumentation – description of the tools used to gather data (surveys, tests, interviews, etc.) Findings – summation of what the research discovered and the types of analysis that were used to describe the findings (tables, figures, and statistical measures) See examples to help guide your writing:   Quantitative Abstract Samples.pdf

Introduction To Poetry Billy Collins I ask them to take a poem and hold it up to the light like a color slide or press an ear against its hive. I say drop a mouse into a poem and watch him probe his way out, or walk inside the poem’s room and feel the walls for a light switch. I want them to waterski across the surface of a poem waving at the author’s name on the shore. But all they want to do is tie the poem to a chair with rope and torture a confession out of it. They begin beating it with a hose to find out what it really means. The Cloths of Heaven W. B. Yeats Had I the heaven’s embroidered cloths,Enwrought with golden and silver light,The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half-light;I would spread the cloths under your feet:But I, being poor, have only my dreams;I have spread my dreams under your feet;Tread softly because you tread on my dreams. SiblingsBY PATRICIA SMITHHurricanes, 2005 Arlene learned to dance backwards in heels that were too high.Bret prayed for a shaggy mustache made of mud and hair.Cindy just couldn’t keep her windy legs together.Dennis never learned to swim.Emily whispered her gusts into a thousand skins.Franklin, farsighted and anxious, bumbled villages.Gert spat her matronly name against a city’s flat face.Harvey hurled a wailing child high.Irene, the baby girl, threw pounding tantrums.José liked the whip sound of slapping.Lee just craved the whip.Maria’s thunder skirts flew high when she danced.Nate was mannered and practical. He stormed precisely.Ophelia nibbled weirdly on the tips of depressions.Philippe slept too late, flailing on a wronged ocean.Rita was a vicious flirt. She woke Philippe with rumors.Stan was born business, a gobbler of steel.Tammy crooned country, getting the words all wrong.Vince died before anyone could remember his name.Wilma opened her maw wide, flashing rot. None of them talked about Katrina.She was their odd sister,the blood dazzler. My Papa’s Waltz By Theodore Roethke The whiskey on your breath Could make a small boy dizzy; But I hung on like death: Such waltzing was not easy. We romped until the pans Slid from the kitchen shelf; My mother’s countenance Could not unfrown itself. The hand that held my wrist Was battered on one knuckle; At every step you missed My right ear scraped a buckle. You beat time on my head With a palm caked hard by dirt, Then waltzed me off to bed Still clinging to your shirt. CIGARETTES By Colin Halloran French for ‘small cigar’,ignite and let smolder,like memories. Hemingway and Miro:Paris’ smoke-screened glamourin grainy black and white. On high risk missions,light to cut tensionincrease alertness. Post firefight, one slowlong drag will ease thestress, unleash the mind. On a cool night’s watch,beneath the cover of a cup,inhale to stay awake. But when all is done,and little said,and battles are behind us, we smoke to helpour hands forgetthe weight of rifles.

Pleased to meet youHope you guessed my name.But what’s puzzling youis the nature of my game. “Piano Man” Billy Joel It’s nine o’clock on a Saturday. The regular crowd shuffles in. There’s an old man sitting next to me making love to his tonic and gin. He says, “Son can you play me a memory? I’m not really sure how it goes. But it’s sad and it’s sweet and I knew it complete when I wore a younger man’s clothes.” Sing us a song you’re the piano man. Sing us a song tonight. Well we’re all in the mood for a melody and you’ve got us feeling all right. Now John at the bar is a friend of mine. He gets me my drinks for free. And he’s quick with a joke or to light up your smoke but there’s someplace that he’d rather be. He says, “Bill, I believe this is killing me.” As a smile ran away from his face. “Well, I’m sure that I could be a movie star if I could get out of this place.” Now Paul is a real estate novelist who never had time for a wife. And he’s talking with Davy, who’s still in the Navy and probably will be for life. And the waitress is practicing politics as the businessmen slowly get stoned. Yes they’re sharing a drink they call loneliness, but it’s better than drinking alone. “Bartender” Dave Matthews Band If I go before I’m old, oh brother of mine, please don’t forget me if I go. Bartender please, fill my glass for me with the wine you gave Jesus that set him free after three days in the ground. Oh and if I die before my time, oh sweet sister of mine, please don’t regret me if I go. Bartender please, fill my glass for me with the wine you gave Jesus that set him free after three days in the ground. I’m on bended knee. I pray, Bartender please. Oh, when I was young I didn’t think about it, but now I can’t get it out of my mind. I’m on bended knee. Please, father, please. Oh, if all this gold, should steal my soul away, oh dear mother of mine, please redirect me if this gold… Bartender, you see, this wine that’s drinking me came from the vine that strung Judas from the devil’s tree roots deep, deep in the ground. I’m on bended knee. I pray, Bartender please. I’m on bended knee. Please, mama, please. Oh, when I was young I didn’t think about it, but now I just want to run and hide. I’m on bended knee. Bartender, please.
