Rhetorical Analysis on Kitcher’s “Inescapable Eugenics” Book

A World of Ideas: Essential Readings for College Writers

This analysis follows the same guidelines as the previous analysis except for the length:

1.Cover sheet if it is required (APA)

2.Provide a title.

3. Immediately after the title, provide the thesis for “Inescapable Eugenics.” Use no more than one or two sentences. If you feel there is a sentence in the essay that would work as a thesis, you may use it (but be sure to document).

4. Analyze Kitcher’s “Inescapable Eugenics.” This is the main part of this assignment. It should be two pages in length. You MUST USE QUOTES IN ORDER TO ANALYZE THE WRITING.

Choose three to four techniques to analyze, providing quoted examples.

rhetorical questions

comparisons

transitions (whether words or sentences)

punctuation/sentence structure

anaphora

parallelism of verbs, sentences, etc.

diction (word choice)

allusions

biblical references

tone of voice (sarcasm, humor, etc.)

imagery

definitions

etc.

You may use only one paraphrase here; no more (be sure to document and boldface).

5. Be sure to have a Work Cited/Reference/Bibliography page. This should be a separate page.

The body of your response should be at least 700 words. (Depending on documentation style, you should have approximately 50 more words for the cover sheet and WC/Ref/Bib page.) Below shows the layout for your assignment:
