Chapter 1

Envision chapter 1 covers how to analyze rhetoric in writings, images, and speech and how to properly write a rhetorical analysis essay. Analyzing rhetoric is crucial to truly understand the meaning behind essays, commercials, documentaries, television shows, etc. Almost everything should be analyzed to a certain extent especially if someone is trying to make an argument or be persuasive. While analyzing rhetoric you should look out for some level of bias and for a person’s choice of words. Envision next covers how to write a rhetorical analysis essay. The first step after choosing a text to analyze is to write a thesis statement. A thesis statement is a short description of your interpretation of what you are analyzing. To get your thesis statement you should write down your observations and work them down to your thesis statement. While writing your essay you should look at the choice of words and any bias and explain why the said what they did. I found this chapter very useful while writing my rhetorical analysis essay
