Assignment task:
a. Watch "On Finding the Why" by Roxane Gay, which overviews the rhetorical triangle and finding a research question (the why) that can drive a compelling paper (like the five-page position paper you will write for the final of this course!)
b. Read "The Rhetorical Triangle: Understanding Logos, Ethos, and Pathos."
c. Find a text that addresses a socially significant topic. The text can be a song, movie, TikTok, poster, brochure, subway ad, commercial, piece of mail, etc.
d. Apply the rhetorical triangle to this chosen text.
Your analysis can be in a 1 to 4 paragraph reply, or an illustration using Canva, a hand drawing, or another image-making tool
