Then review ONE of the above in depth, looking at specific techniques the author has used in writing her argument.
Please begin your exercise with a short, introductory paragraph that includes an extremely brief summary of the essay. This summary should alert your reader of only the essay’s main point with perhaps two additional subpoints or supporting ideas given. Be sure to mention the name of the essay, enclosed in quotation marks,as well as the author’s name, in your exercise.
Then discuss ONE technique that the author uses in her essay, with enough detail to fill a second, large, unified paragraph (when typed and double spaced). Therefore, you must develop that idea with evidence and illustrations. Somewhere, you must state what you believe this technique does for the writer, the reader, or the argument (what is its effect?).
This exercise should fit on one page but if you go over, no worries.

- Discuss the author’s use of logos in the essay
