We continued parsing Clare Luce's speech to the Washington press club by identifying the use of parallel structure, and repetition . We further discussed how her diction creates a light tone.I emphasized how the rhetorical analysis essay must further address why and how the rhetorical devices are crafted to the audience and to the speaker's purpose. I then distributed student essays from the College Board that analyzed this speech for the 2017 exam. We explored the highest graded essay and what made that essay cogent , developed, and organized. Matthew found this exercise very helpful ,especially reading the comments of the readers who scored the essay.
