Rhetorical Analysis Essay on Sujatha Jesudason’s “Future Harms of Reproductive Technologies Are Worth Opposing Now” Article
Using some of the strategies on rhetorical analysis from this week’s reading, analyze the essay you chose in your own short essay. Address the following questions:
Who is the author, and why is this important?
When was the essay written, and why is this important?
What claim is the author making?
What kind of claim is the author making (fact, value, or policy)? How does the author support this claim?
What is the warrant that connects the claim and the support?
Overall, do you find the essay to be an effective argument?
Follow these instructions carefully:
1. Your paper should address the above questions in a unified and logically organized essay. You may answer the questions in any logical order. Whatever order you choose, your essay should include an introductory paragraph, body paragraphs, and a conclusion paragraph.
2. The introductory paragraph should identify the author, essay, and general topic to be discussed. In addition, it should state the purpose of the essay, which is to analyze a specific reading.
3. The body paragraphs of your paper should answer the required questions. Focus on transitioning from paragraph to paragraph smoothly to create the sense that all of the questions you are answering are working towards the same purpose — to better understand an argumentative essay. For guidance with transitions between paragraphs consult the corresponding resources listed in Week 3
You are expected to quote from the essay you choose to support your analysis.
