The Essay Two Assignment and How it all works?

In this assignment we are given the opportunity to do a rhetorical analysis of someone's viewpoint on a debatable topic. During this process we will be analyzing their writing process and use of Rhetoric as well as how effective their argument is. Through making this analysis we are given the opportunity to learn ways to make stronger arguments ourselves.
In our essay assignment first we have to select a writing that was made to persuade our opinion on a particular topic. In our reading of this, we have to determine how strong was their argument? Did it sway our opinion on the subject and to what degree? After giving a brief summary in our essay of the article we have chosen, we then have to share our own feelings on the strength of their argument and it's effect on us. Then in the body of our essay, we have to break down the arguments or other important points from their writing and how it affected their overall persuasiveness in their article.
In this opportunity to break down someone else's rhetoric, we will be given insight into how our own use of rhetoric can be better improved or used more effectively in different situations of our writing. Through this effective learning from other's example or possibly from other's mistakes, we will become more equipped in our writing to use the available tools to move our audiences to a greater degree.
