What genre did the rhetor select? How is the genre effective to the audience? Would a different genre be more effective (you must consider the historical time in which the author was writing for this question as well as the kairos of the writing)?

Assignment: In some of our course readings thus far, we have studied the components of the rhetorical situation and ways in which rhetors use the rhetorical situation in their writing. We have practiced identifying the specific components of a rhetorical situation in a textual artifact, and we analyzed how the rhetors we read use the rhetorical situation to further their claim. For this assignment, you will apply your rhetorical analysis skills to an essay not covered in class. You should choose a theme from the The Norton Sampler (see pp xix-xxviii) that you are interested in exploring. From that theme, choose a reading in The Norton Sampler and write a 3-4 page, MLA-formatted essay in which you present a rhetorical analysis of your chosen piece.

Method: To write this essay, you must be confident recognizing the components of the rhetorical situation and determining how they work together in your selected essay. Your essay must show how the components build on each other and with each other throughout the essay, and you must correctly identify, define, and illustrate these components in your writing.

Questions to Address: When writing a rhetorical analysis, you must identify, define, and illustrate the rhetorical situation, and you must analyze the authors effectiveness in using the rhetorical situation to further the purpose of their writing. To do this, you should use the guiding questions below. You do need to answer all the questions in the body of your essay; however, you should address them in an order that best fits your organizational needs and leads your reader logically to your evaluation.

You need to argue your case and try to explain what went wrong. In arguing your case, you need to explain the details of the person you chose- you may want to look at where in the CJ system failed the individual (ex: bad police practice, bias, jury selection, eye witness ID, etc.) Explain if you feel the failure in the CJ system is systematic, institutionalized, contextual, an individual act of discrimination or that there was no racial or ethic discrimination, also known as pure justice.

How might the authors define revolution? What problems are revolutionary changes expected to address?

ntroduction-
China had been the most strongest nation among east Asian countries as the Qing Dynasty for over a century. Due to its power, when Lord Macartney of Britain made requirements to Qianlong Emperor including requests such as state to state relations, diplomats in Beijing, open ports, and lower tariffs, Qianlong Emperor rejected and only allowed exporting silk, porcelain, and tea to Western countries. However, keeping their Confucianism, not opening up their country, China had struggles with western countries, not only with Britain but also US, France, Japan, Spain, and etc, going through various wars including Opium Wars, Arrow War, and Boxer uprising. At the same time, China had conflicts within their own country; rebellions from the inside. As a result, Western countries won in most Coastal Battles, which forced Qing Dynasty to sign the Unequal Treaties and China gradually lost their power which led their citizens to believe that revolutions are needed in their country. In order to discuss about how revolution was considered in Chinese history between the late 19th century and 20th century, this paper will explain three authors who showed their opinions about revolutions occured.
The questions that needs to be answered in the essay are : What elements of society or the individual are targeted for revolutionary change? What visions of a future do the authors entertain should their revolutionary (or counter-revolutionary) goals be achieved?
