Rhetorical Analysis

Write a rhetorical analysis about Neil Bissoondath's "I'm Not Racist But..."
In a rhetorical analysis you are critically reviewing an author's work and the reader should come away with a sense, not only of the thesis and body of the original piece, but also whether or not it is a successful piece of writing and why. This is achieved by examining the rhetorical devices the writer uses to argue the thesis and analyzing their efficacy. Unlike a summary, a rhetorical analysis exists to assess how well the author achieves his or her purpose, what rhetorical strategies have been used, how effectively they have been used, and the overall effect of the piece. Remember, however, that it is not an opinion piece based on your feelings regarding the subject matter, but a detailed analysis of the author's work via the rhetorical strategies.
As with all academic work omit any references to yourself ...(i.e. don't say "I think...").
Provide pertinent examples from the text to show how the author develops and supports the piece. Pick three elements, strategies or devices the author uses to try to make the essay effective (use of stats, experts, examples, constract, questions, presentation of both sides, tone, humour, irony, anecdotes, exaggeration, scientific facts, etc.). Does the author use all three of the rhetorical appeals-- logos, pathos, and ethos? Are they used in equal measure or is the argument weighted, for instance, in an emotional direction as opposed to a logical one? Are they used effectively? Think about how the appeals may be linked or connected to each other and consider the possible effects of those appeals on readers. Link the elements to the purpose/thesis.
