Summaries - Compare/Contrast Rhetorical Analysis Essay

Write a 250-300 word summary of each article with appropriate in-text citations after ALL paraphrasing and quoting. Identify the main idea/thesis of each article and note the supporting details, exhibiting a strong understanding of the articles in your own words. 

Cite correctly with MLA in-text citations all paraphrasing, summary, and quoting, and then include a correctly formatted MLA style  “Works Cited” page for the two articles.

Remember: a summary DOES NOT contain any analysis or opinion. It is a fair review of an articles that provides your readers background so they can follow the point of your essay. If you find yourself using words like “ethos,” “pathos,” or “logos” you are not writing a summary, you are writing an analysis.  (25 pts).
