Begin with a rhetorical tool (such as an anecdote, statistic, or interesting fact) on the subject. Follow with the thesis—the theme you see in the article. Write other paragraphs on the text of the article noting key rhetorical tools, such as comparison/contrast, scenarios, examples, allusions, authoritative references, metaphors, facts, statistics, and analogies made by the author.

How do the rhetoric and tone support or detract from his case? Again, use examples to illustrate. Finally, assess the cultural context of the writing.

Analyze how well the author presents and supports the thesis, and express whether this author presents a fair case
