Ken Turner Donald Busch College Comp. II January 18, 2013 Rhetorical Analysis: “Stay Sweet As You Are” by Doug Lantry Throughout the beginning paragraph Lantry introduces the reader to his article’s main theme of advertisements focusing on women’s apparent need or desire to “catch” a man, or to become married to him. Lantry sets up the body text of his article by ending his introductory paragraph with “from the 1920’s, 1930’s and 1950’s this theme can be traced through verbal and visual context.” This ensures that Lantry will be able to reinforce his thesis by potentially using examples of advertisements portraying this theme through verbal and visual context in all three time periods. Lantry starts his second paragraph by first revealing his first example the Resinol Soap advertisement and giving some basic information about what exactly the advertisement is stating. He then fills a gratuitous amount of the paragraph stating how the advertisement is very negative toward anyone that does not use the product.
Many questions are potentially similar such as ‘what are the benefits of….’ Or ‘what are the reasons for….’. The answers would be completely different. Read through the paper.

It provides criteria that the reader uses to judge whether you have achieved your goal – that is answer the question. Some writers launch straight into answering the question – leaving readers wondering where this roller coaster was going. To fix this 1. read other peoples introductions (and Abstracts), 2. identify what the argument is going to follow then read and see if you are correct.
The opening sentences can be descriptive, begin with an interesting statistic or a quotation. The introductory sentences will lead the reader to the point of your paper and to a clear thesis statement. This statement clearly tells the reader what your paper is going to cover. Thesis statement An example of a thesis statement: Although people frequently react to stress in harmful ways, there are four positve methods one may use to manage stress effectively.

RHETORICAL ANALYSIS Introduction Lloyd Bitzer defines a rhetorical situation specifically as “a complex of persons, events, objects, and relations presenting an actual or potential exigence which can be completely or partially removed if discourse, introduced into the situation, can so constrain human decision or action as to bring about the significant modification of the exigence(105).” A rhetorical situation can be described as someone or something trying to get you to do something without directly telling you, but implying it. Every rhetorical situation has an exigence, rhetors, audience, and constraints.
