Mini-Essay
Write a 1-page mini-essay (double-spaced) analyzing the persuasiveness of the following YouTube video:
Christine O’Donnell Ad
Don’t focus on the politics; focus on the message. Does the speaker connect with her audience with the opening lines “I’m not a witch” and/or other components of the ad? If so, how? Use the terminology from your course readings (Aristotle’s appeals and rhetorical strategy terms) to explain how the speaker does or does not connect.
Note: The mini-essay assignment follows the same conventions as “regular” essays—paragraph transitions, topic and concluding sentences, thesis statement, and introduction and concluding paragraphs. See the list below for more requirements:
