THESE ARE MY PROFESSORS INSTRUCTIONS
While this paper builds on the prompt from our in-class writing assignment, your paper should demonstrate a significant revision of ideas. In other words, do not simply type your in-class essay and turn it in. Consider the examples that you utilized in your in-class writing and expand upon your ideas.
– Be thorough. Do not simply define the author’s main argument, discuss the methods by which the author builds and supports this argument. For example, does the author use personal experience, metaphor, simile, personification, analogy, etc. to support their argument? In other words, do not simply summarize, analyze.
– Clearly define what challenges you believe the author is describing. How do these challenges affect a certain group or society at large? Does the author provide a method by which individuals can overcome
these obstacles? Does the author provide methods by which society can address these issues?
– Your paper should be coherently organized and demonstrate your ability to maintain clarity and focus on
your central significance.
– This paper does not ask you to utilize outside materials. Do not incorporate research, quotations, anecdotes, etc. from sources outside of the text of study.

ESSAY 2—English 1A                       Dr. Leiby  Spring 2024
For this assignment you will write a short essay of at least three paragraphs (between 600-750 words) analyzing the use of either ethos, logos, or pathos (focus on only ONE rhetorical strategy) in ONE of the following articles:
1    Gloria Anzaldúa’s “How to Tame a Wild Tongue,” available in the Week 4 Module and at https://www.everettsd.org/cms/lib07/WA01920133/Centricity/Domain/965/Anzaldua-Wild-Tongue.pdf (Links to an external site.) (https://www.everettsd.org/cms/lib07/WA01920133/Centricity/Domain/965/Anzaldua-Wild-Tongue.pdf);
2    Alice Walker’s “In Search of Our Mothers’ Gardens,” available in the Week 4 Module and at http://l-adam-mekler.com/walker_in_search.pdf (Links to an external site.) (http://l-adam-mekler.com/walker_in_search.pdf);
3    Paula Gunn Allen’s “Where I Come from Is like This”; available in the Week
4 Module and at 
https://eng101asu.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/where-i-come-from-is-like-this-paula-gunn-allen.pdf (Links to an external site.) (https://eng101asu.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/where-i-come-from-is-like-this-paula-gunn-allen.pdf)
Essay 2 should include a thesis statement similar to the following (fill in all blanks):
In her essay, “___(put the title in quotation marks)___,” the author ___(include her full name)___ effectively utilizes ___ (choose either ethos, logos, or pathos)     to convince her primary audience, ___(explain who was targeted at the time of publication)___, of her claim that ___(paraphrase the author’s argument)___.
Content and Organization
•    You should include an introductory paragraph that provides 1) a brief overview of the author and the issues and concerns of her essay, 2) a brief definition of the rhetorical strategy (either ethos, logos, or pathos), as well as 3) the thesis statement of your essay, which should be similar to the sample above and should appear at the end of the introductory paragraph. Remember to start with a “hook” that draws in your readers. (See Rules for Writers, Chapter 1e, and the English 1AS Week 4 Lecture.)
•    For the body paragraph(s) of the essay, start with a topic sentence that identifies what the author does to create effective ethos, logos, or pathos, then include at least two or three specific examples of the rhetorical strategy your essay focuses on. 
•    Utilize the sandwiching method by setting up and providing commentary on the quoted and paraphrased material you use to support the topic sentence of the paragraph. (Quotations cannot stand aloneas sentences!) Remember that brackets and ellipses can be employed to make quoted material flow when combined with your words and that you can utilize a combination of quotation and paraphrase, even in the same sentence.
•    Be sure to explain to your readers why the examples are effective in supporting the author’s claim and convincing her audience of its validity. Don’t forget to use transitional words and phrases, and make sure that the paragraphs are unified.
•    Include a conclusion paragraph in which you re-emphasize the thesis of your essay, as well as discuss the significance of the author’s work that you have just analyzed. (See Rules for Writers, Chapter 1g, and the English 1AS Week 4 Lecture.) 
•    Utilize a formal academic style (no contractions and no use of first or second person point of view). 
•    Review the Week 3 Lecture: The College Essay. (https://elcamino.instructure.com/courses/39966/pages/week-3-lecture-the-college-essay)
Format  (https://elcamino.instructure.com/courses/39966/pages/week-3-lecture-the-college-essay)
•    You should use MLA format for the assignment, including correct margins, a heading and header, as well as putting the page numbers of the quotations or paraphrases in parentheses and punctuating these properly. (Remember: punctuation such as the period or comma goes after the parentheses for correct MLA format.) 
•    The last page of the essay should be a Works Cited page that includes the article by Gunn Allen, Anzaldua, or Walker, as well as any other source you used (for example, if you included biographical information about the author in your introductory paragraph and you used a source other than
the article itself
