JFK Inaugural Analysis Practice

First, here is a review of the pattern of rhetorical analysis

Before you write a rhetorical analysis, you need to understand and articulate the author's purpose/rhetorical situation -- this is usually raised in the introduction. Then follow this general pattern of analysis:

1. Identify and describe a rhetorical strategy that is used.
2. Provide a specific example of this strategy.
3. Clearly explain how the use of this rhetorical strategy functions in this context. What additional meaning/ feeling does it create and how?
4. How does creating this meaning/ feeling in this context help author achieve his purpose

JFK Inaugural Address:

Explain how the author’s rhetorical situation and purpose were supported by a syntactic scheme.

1. Identify/describe an example of syntactic scheme Kennedy employs strategy by how you know.
2. Used blended sentences to incorporate specific text.
3. How does the grammar of this passage develop additional meaning or clarity?

Connect what you said in C with a specific purpose/ rhetoric and explain how it works.
