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...

In addition, no connections are made between the few rhetorical choices that the response ident...
