Rhetorical Analysis

The article we had to read on Rhetorical Analysis from our book "How To Write Anything" taught me a lot I had not known before about rhetoric and rhetorical analysis. To be honest, I did not know what a rhetorical analysis was before I read this. I discovered that when you pick apart an advertisement or speech, and express what you think in words, that is a rhetorical analysis. I discovered that it is an argument that takes several strategies to express. You must take words seriously, make strong claims about texts, and mine texts for evidence. Knowing how to do this will help us a lot on our next project when we have to do an analysis or an advertisement.
