review 2- rhetorical analysis timed write



   A rhetorical analysis is when you are given a text and must dissect it. By doing this, one explains the reason as to why they believe the author of the text wrote it in such a way. The writer of the rhetorical analysis must analyze the diction, sentence structure, mood, style, and other features that might reveal why the author might have written such text as so. The format one must write a rhetorical analysis in is giving an introduction paragraph that explains the text, thesis, and the main points of the authors piece and why they might have written it as such. Followed by this each point is explained in body paragraphs; each paragraph contains a different point going into depth. Lastly, the conclusion sums up all the points one makes in their essay. During the AP exam, one is given 40 minutes to write out a rhetorical analysis. In a timed write, it is important to write about the different points they believe the author must have written the text in such a way in the introduction and body paragraphs. One should focus primarily on those portions because they are the most important that give out what the writer is trying to say. A conclusion would help but if time runs out its okay if you strongly wrote about the main thesis and focus of the paper.
