Article Analysis

 

Select a recent editorial article from a reputable news outlet, such as the New York Times or the Washington Post.

Read the article, identify the author’s conclusion, and write a brief analysis answering the following questions:

  • What is the author’s conclusion or main point?
  • How does the author attempt to make the case?
  • Does the author use logical argumentation? Does the author use rhetoric? A combination of both?
  • Is the author’s position reasonable? Why or why not?

Your analysis must be 1-2-pages in length and follow as appropriate.
