Write a 4 page essay about one of the following essays: Malcolm X’s “The Ballot and the Bullet”, Hillary Clinton’s “Women’s Rights are Human Rights”, or Barack Obama’s address to the nation on Syria in 2013. In this essay, provide a detailed discussion and analysis of the way the author uses just ONE of the three appeals (ethos, logos or pathos). This should be the primary focus of your essay. Generate an arguable thesis statement that describes why and how the author uses this appeal. Apply terms from course that describe the writer’s situation (context, audience, purpose, kairos, exigence). Use these terms to help you explain WHY the author chose this appeal and why they chose to use it in this way. Do NOT agree or disagree with the author’s argument. Instead, explain what techniques and choices the author made during their speech that affected the persuasiveness of the speech.
