  In this essay, we’re taking a step beyond WHAT the texts argue, focusing instead on HOW they get their point across. How does the author help the readers understand the content? How do they ensure readers trust their authority? How make the readers care about the topic? What makes their arguments persuasive? This 4 pg. the paper asks you to rhetorically analyze one of the articles below (all available in your RA reader) to understand how the authors attempt to persuade their audience through appeals, framing techniques, and rhetorical devices. This paper is not a summary—while you may want to briefly review the main arguments, your paper should focus on the stuff  “under the hood” instead of just overall comprehension and meaning. Your goal is to pick this rhetorical artifact apart and explain how it works.
