Any topic (writer’s choice)

Choose one of the essays we read this week, then provide us with the following:

Identify what you think is the rhetorical mode of the essay. Explain how you made your decision.
Pick one part of the narrative that really struck you or that you found compelling. Consider what about that particular sentence, paragraph, or section caught your attention. Remember, try to read like a writer.
Replies to classmates: Reply to two classmates and consider the following: Do you agree with the rhetorical mode they identified? Why or why not? Also, provide them with additional context about the compelling part they identified, or describe your own reaction to another part of the piece that connects to their example.
