The thesis is stated at the end of paragraph 1: “In the address he gave to dedicate the statue Obama used repetition, biblical references, and personal anecdotes to convey the power of her actions.” This is a clearly articulated and defensible statement that takes a position on the rhetorical choices Obama makes to convey his message and flows logi...
The response earned this point for explaining the broader significance of Obama’s rhetorical choices, demonstrating the understanding that former civil rights activists, a broader American public, and a potentially antagonistic audience are all being addressed in different ways by the different rhetorical choices he makes: “he recognizes the import...

In the opening paragraph, the mention of Obama attempting to “move the audience toward a more sophisticated way of life” introduces the potential for an unusual and interesting argument, but the response does not offer any real development of this point. In addition, no connections are made between the few rhetorical choices that the response ident...
