Here is a link to a transcript of the video.
On Monday you will write, by hand, a brief rhetorical
analysis essay. The purpose of this essay is to argue for a specific

In preparing for this essay, carefully
consider the rhetorical devices that most contribute to the message or ideas
explored within the piece.

prepared, per piece.
