Rough Draft
Please submit a rough draft of Paper 1, of at least 500 words, by the deadline. Please submit your work in WORD format, as an attached file.
In your rough draft, aim for these things:
Identify and describe the thing you have chosen to analyze.
Begin to work your way through the rhetorical analysis of what you’ve chosen; focus on how the comedy works, what strategies or gimmicks the comedian or item is using to make people laugh, who the target audience is for the item you’ve chosen, etc.
My goal here is to make sure you are on the right path–that you’ve chosen wisely and that you have a basic grasp of what it means to write a rhetorical analysis, versus some other type of paper.
