ENGL 114 CSUN Get out Film Rhetorical Analysis

 

write a thesis-driven rhetorical analysis essay using specific, textual evidence (direct quotations) to support your assertions. Your thesis should articulate an important facet or idea (remember theme?)of the movie, and how Jordan Peele articulates its importance. Your entire paper should focus on that theme. Remember, a Rhetorical Analysis is NOT your OPINION of what is going on in the book/movie or text you are analyzing. You are to simply TELL the reader what Peele is saying, and how he uses the rhetorical devices to narrate this idea.

Some Tips:

  • Argument elements such as the claim of the author, the provided support, and what connects these elements.
  • Unusual language especially if the language is loaded. (what kind of language does Peele use and what does this define?) Remember, ethos, pathos, and logos. ( Do not write “He uses pathos by showing the maid crying” Instead place all these devices in the description without defining them as logos, pathos, and ethos.
  • Examples that the author uses and why he or she chose them.
  • The purpose of the work or goal.
  • Classification of the work, illustration or example
  • How the author narrates a story, the used analogy, definitions and descriptions
