You will write a rhetorical analysis of TWO texts
Employ specific rhetorical terms (purpose, audience, genre, stance, triangle (ethos, pathos, logos)) appropriately.
Make an overall evaluation of each texts effectiveness (for a particular audience)
Cite specific evidence from each text to support all claims (using MLA format).
Draw connections between the two texts whenever possible.  You will want to work on placing the two texts in conversation, either through the arguments they present and/or the strategies employed in both.
Offer insights that move beyond commonsense/obvious interpretations.
