RA Thesis

In the article, "Children, Violence and the Media: A Report for Parents and Policy Makers" by Senate Committee on the Judiciary, rhetorical strategies such as tone and word choice emotionally appeal to American parents to raise awareness on the effects of the media on children.

  1. This is a great start: as you write your paper you may come back and revise your thesis to make it more specific. Right now, "emotionally appeal" is vague--you may find a more specific emotion to focus on as you go. Also, do these authors just want to raise awareness, or do they want these parents to do something about it? Your purpose might also become more specific as you go.
