Rhetorical Analysis
After you’ve completed your rhetorical analysis of F. Douglass’s “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” and S. Truth’s “Ain’t I a Woman?” compose a three-paragraph rhetorical analysis essay where you compare and contrast how each speaker uses Rhetorical Appeals (ethos, logos, pathos) in their speeches to communicate their messages to their audiences.
