this needs to have a thesis as well

Write a 450 word journal entry for the book Aquinas on Law?

1. Use detailed description and quotes from the text to identify what you take to be the central claim(s) that the work makes upon you as a reader and the supporting evidence for the claim. For example, in a work of philosophy, the claim might be that the human soul is immortal, supported by evidence and argument. In history and literature, the claim might take the form of a narrative depiction of a particular world of meaning and value, such as Einhards account of Charlemagne as an ideal king. We might say that the claim is that which invites the reader to think, imagine, and/or feel about the world and things in the world in a new and distinctive way.
2. In a second level of reflection, raise any questions you may have about interpretation of the work. Are there particular terms, sentences, or paragraphs, arguments, scenes, behaviors, or actions that you find confusing or difficult to understand? How do these questions affect the way you understand the claim being made? (For example, how is one to understand Einhards mention of Charlemagnes several concubines in connection to his esteem for the greatness of the king?)
3. In a third and final level of reflection, assess the reasons for and against affirming the truth and/or goodness of the claim as you understand it. Using the examples above, are you convinced on the basis of the work that the soul is immortal? Why or why not? Are you convinced that Charlemagne merits the title Great as a Christian ruler of Europe? Why or why not? It is important to use what Fr. Brophy calls generosity to open your mind to claims that challenge your own perspectives. What are the best arguments that you can make for a position that you might ultimately reject? What aspects of the claim do you affirm? Which aspects do you reject? About which aspects are you unsure? Explain your reasoning process in each case, noting the premises involved in the various positions explored.

Assignment 4 Outline . Ruler the. APA Gramar

The most important thing to know about rhetorical analysis is that you are not analyzing

the topic your sources are writing about. You are analyzing the way your sources discuss the

topicthe rhetoric itself. In this instance, your sources might be biased, but you will not. By the

end of the paper, I should not know your opinion on your chosen topic.

FORMAT

You will use MLA Format: Double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12 pt font. Include a

Works Cited page (separate from the minimum page count).

500-1000 words (not counting the Works Cited)

TOPIC

Choose a social, political, or cultural issue that is specific to Texas or even more local.

Remember that you will be researching and writing on this topic for the next two major

assignments too, so pick something you feel strongly about.

SOURCES

Choose two sources that have taken different positions on your topic. These should be

biased sources, not neutral. Your sources can be print, videos, blogs, podcasts, or almost

any medium.

You are welcome to use other Texas publications, but this is a list of sources that you

wont have to pay for.

The Texas Tribune: The Texas Tribune

INSTRUCTIONS

You will write a formal rhetorical analysis including an introduction with a thesis

statement, a body, a conclusion, and a Works Cited page.

Begin with some background on the topic itself. Present an unbiased overview of the

state of the issue.

You will analyze and evaluate the rhetoric of your two chosen sources. Explain to your

audience, using examples from the sources, which rhetorical appeals the sources use,

whether you think those appeals are effective and why. Point out any fallacies you

discover in their reasoning.

Indicate which source you find most persuasive and why, using only their rhetorical

strategies. This is not about your opinion on the topic itself; it is simply an evaluation of

how well the source presented their case.
