Divide the piece into sections, such as the topic of the paper; quality of the source/author credibility (Ethos); the way that author uses emotional appeal and whether that is acceptable (Pathos); the position that author rejects, author’s main thesis and reasons (premises) to support the thesis (Logos). Assess the strength of the argument: do you agree or disagree with the author, and why? Did you find the author’s argumentative approach and style effective or not, and why?
Additional Guidelines
The quotes should be complete sentences (no more, less) and should be incorporate-d in your essay to illustrate your ideas. Please, cite your sources in a clickable reference list at the end. Also, do not copy without providing proper attribution (quotation marks and in-line citations). Also, write an essay format, not in bullet form, numbering, or another list format. It would be best if you use your own words. Lastly, proofread your work and run it through Grammarly for thorough confirmation.
