Link: Rhetorical Analysis-Letter to Southern Baptist Minister
This paper came at the beginning of my introduction to rhetorical strategies and was among my first attempts at rhetorical analysis. In it, I explore the rhetorical strategies used by E. O. Wilson in his work, A Letter to a Southern Baptist Minister. I didn’t know it at the time of its writing, but this paper would work to provide me with the fundamental knowledge that would propel me through the English Major for the following years of my cadetship. I develop here the basic skill of identifying and using rhetorical strategies in academic, civic, and professional situations. Though I recall the struggle of writing about a discipline which I knew so little about at the time, the knowledge and skills I developed in writing this paper have been of repeated usefulness in and outside of my work in the major.
