For this assignment, we will continue to work towards our Rhetorical Analysis essay on Tommy Lynch’s “Why Hope Is Dangerous When It Comes to Climate Change.”
Identify two rhetorical elements that you think are particularly important in making this text work (or not work). Answer the following questions for each:
Start by identifying a rhetorical element:
1. Define the rhetorical element or device
2. Provide two examples of it in the text (quote and context for quote)
3. Explain what these examples help you understand about the author, their purpose and their audience
4. Explain the impact you believe this rhetorical element or device has on the text
Repeat with another rhetorical element!
Be sure to refer to What is Rhetorical Analysis?
