Explanation
A strong rhetorical analysis thesis takes a position on how effective the writer’s argument is and judges whether the writer’s strategies succeed. It also previews what the analysis will demonstrate, so readers understand its main claim. Identifying similar texts is not usually part of the thesis, and personal agreement with the writer is different from analyzing the writer’s rhetorical effectiveness.
