Prompt for both classes: How does the author effectively convey his/her message and/or purpose in the text? Cite specific rhetorical devices used and their effects (be detailed and not general). You must include small quotations to support your analysis (words, phrases, or at most a quotation one sentence in length). How and why do the particular words you include support the writer's message or purpose? Be specific.

You must type your essay in MLA format. See the rubric links below to check your work. As always, you should have a printed-out copy of your work to turn in and an electronic copy on your laptop computer. If you do not have the essay printed out at the beginning of class, you earn a grade of zero. If you come late to class unexcused, you earn a grade of zero. I will not accept a pass from anyone if it turns out you were printing your essay (even if excused). If you are absent unexcused, I will not accept your essay. You earn a grade of zero. Prepare in advance.
Do not use any outside sources. I will check with a plagiarism program Broward College has provided. The essay should be strictly your ideas and analysis.
The length of your essay should be two pages to the bottom, double-spaced, in MLA format. Points will be taken off for mistakes in MLA format and grammar.
