“The Rhetorical Strategies of Tommy Lynch: Analyzing the Impact of Hope in the Face of Climate Change” Rhetorical Analysis of “Hor Uses Than” in the Essay Prompt
Prompt Option 1:
In the article “Why Hope Is Dangerous When It Comes to Climate Change” by Tommy Lynch, the author explores the role of hope in the face of the impending climate crisis. Drawing on the arguments presented by David Wallace-Wells and other experts, Lynch analyzes the tensions between hope, pessimism, and the urgent need for action. Your task is to write a rhetorical analysis essay in which you examine the rhetorical strategies used by Lynch to convey his message, and also to evaluate the effectiveness of these strategies in persuading the audience, and his purpose for writing this text.
Part 1: The expectation is that you analyze Lynch’s use of logos, ethos, and pathos (or a combination of two that you find to be dominant in his essay). How does Lynch appeal to reason, credibility, and emotion to support his argument? Identify specific examples of evidence, statistics, and anecdotes used to appeal to the reader’s logic, trust in the author, and emotional response. To explore these elements please examine Lynch’s writing style and tone. Question to promote critical thinking: “How does he use language (diction) and tone to establish his position and connect with the audience?” Please try to discuss the impact of Lynch’s stylistic choices on the overall persuasiveness of the essay.
Part 2: It is also important to pay attention to Lynch’s awareness of his target audience(s). How does Lynch tailor his message to resonate with the intended readership? Consider whether Lynch effectively anticipates and addresses the concerns or perspectives of his audience. Examine how Lynch envisions his essay influencing the reader’s perspective or behavior. Question to promote critical thinking: “Does he seek to inspire action, provoke thought, or foster a particular emotional response? Discuss any strategies used by Lynch to make his purpose clear and compelling to the reader. How does he align his purpose with the urgency of the climate crisis?
Part 3: Lastly, it is important to explore Lynch’s purpose for writing this essay. Investigate his overarching purpose in writing this essay. Question to promote critical thinking: What is Lynch’s primary goal or intention in addressing the relationship between hope and climate change? Analyze whether Lynch aims to inform, persuade, entertain, or provoke a specific response from the audience. How does this purpose shape the rhetorical choices made throughout the essay?
Wrapping up the essay, be sure to re-state the thesis statement (without using the exact words from your thesis), and to summarize the key rhetorical strategies employed by Lynch in conveying his message. Please then evaluate the overall effectiveness of these strategies in persuading the reader to reevaluate the role of hope in the context of climate change.
Consider the following questions about Lynch. You could also ask these questions about your selected Viewpoint texts:
What is the main argument that Lynch is making in his article? How does he support his argument using evidence and examples?
How does Lynch use rhetorical appeals– including appeals to ethos (credibility), logos (logic and reasoning), and pathos (emotions)? What other rhetorical strategies does Lynch use to make his argument? For example, how does he use language and tone? Authority?
Who is the intended audience for this article? Whom is the author trying to reach? How does Lynch address potential counterarguments or opposing views in his article? Does he effectively address these concerns?
What is the overall effectiveness of Lynch’s argument? Does he persuade the reader to agree with his point of view? Why or why not?
In the body of your essay, you will demonstrate your understanding of these kinds of texts, their message, and their audience, and develop support for your rhetorical argument with evidence from the text. This assignment does not ask you to argue for or against the essay’s topic. Rather, you will be writing more about the techniques the author uses than the topic of their essay. Be sure to review What is Rhetorical Analysis? in FAUGCW for further help in developing your analysis. Formatting and Requirements DO NOT write your essay directly in Achieve. DO NOT Submit your draft in Achieve. Your draft must be submitted in Canvas, and it will automatically be assigned a peer reviewer, once submitted on time.

Refer to the instructions and draft goals for help as you write. DO NOT submit drafts or final papers in google docs or pages. Please use a word document. Your essay should be approximately 3 full pages as a draft but when revised – 4 full pages in length. Include your name, my name, class and date (in that order) in the upper left corner of the 1st page only.
Format your essay according to MLA guidelines (see Documenting Sources: MLA Style in Achieve)

All quotes need to be analyzed/explained and connect to overall argument/thesis. 80 pts max (A paper without supporting quotes cannot pass) 3) Organization – Topic sentences, transitions, logical order of body paragraphs. Points for organization may also include formatting the paper correctly in MLA style. Check that the essay has a left header that is properly formatted. 30 pts max
