Evaluating a sample rhetorical analysis

Uncategorized

Read Anne Marie Paulin’s essay “Cruelty, Civility, and Other Weighty Matters” in CEL Ch. 8 (p. 230).

Also read the analysis essay, “The Weight of Sanity: A Sample Analysis of Ann Marie Paulin” in CEL Ch. 6 (p. 155).

Paulin’s essay makes an argument about one way that people are marginalized or dismissed in mainstream American culture. As an example of critical reading and rhetorical analysis, the authors of the CEL have written an essay analyzing Paulin’s argument and the rhetorical tools she uses to make it. as you read “The Weight of Sanity,” think about the value of this kind of essay that summarizes and explains how an argument is working instead of evaluating its worth.
