This assignment is meant to function as a stepping stone for the major essay that concludes Project 2. With this assignment you will practice breaking down a text into distinct elements and interpreting how these elements function together from a rhetorical perspective.
Assignment: Choose one of the articles: Karen Nachay, ‘In Search of Sustainability’ OR John A. Vucetich and Michael P. Nelson, ‘Sustainability: Virtuous or Vulgar?’, and write a brief (300-450 words) rhetorical analysis essay of the article.
Identify the rhetorical elements of the text (author, genre, intended audience, purpose and sources of information). Include a brief style analysis after the rhetorical one. Explain your choices with evidence from the text. Be concise.
