Using attached Word document, write at least 1.5 double-spaced pages conducting the rhetorical and source analysis we have practiced all semester. Points to cover include but are not limited to:

-in terms of our Project 3, how do images, maps, other non-text component affect the "essay" text and article focus

-how the author supports her argument (evaluation of how effectively she uses her sources; use of links instead of MLA/APA/etc. format)

-evaluate author's use of rhetorical strategies such as logos, pathos, and ethos in her work

-how well the author hides (or fails to hide) her own bias or view(s) in conducting her reporting (use specific areas of the source text to support)

-evaluation of conflicting source issues (U.S. officials' claims about raid, compared to others' claims). How do readers know what to believe about (1) this event in Jan. 2017, and similarly, (2) March 2017 events like alleged chemical gas use in Syria,  subsequent (April) U.S. launch of 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles?
