RA Thesis
Alcohol Advertising: Are Our Kids Collateral or Intended Targets is an effective argument to convince parents in society that there is a need to shield their children from alcohol advertising because it uses persuasive diction, statistical logos, and questions to warn them against the alcohol advertising companies targeting of children.

You might want to call "statistical logos" just "statistics" (unless you mean something different from statistics). Also, what kinds of questions? Rhetorical questions? Frank questions? Subtle questions? See if you can make that more specific (that will also help as you look for examples of that tool--narrows it down some).
ReplyDeleteAlso, be aware of your referents. Make sure it is very clear what is linked to every "it" and "they/them" you use (for example, as currently written, in "questions to warn them against the alcohol advertising companies . . ." "them" could refer to the parent audience, the children, or the alcohol advertising companies).
Finally: what appeals do these tools create? That seems to be missing from this thesis.
I second the motion to clarify what kind of questions, and I would add the suggestion to explain how the questions warn parents through some sort of logical chain, perhaps.
