Facebook Rhetorical Analysis

Decent Essays
1. I feel the main thesis of your draft is that you chose Facebook as the best social media site for the residents to use. After you said "I was hoping that if Facebook was too overwhelming, Snapchat in its simplicity and friendlies would be right for them," I was then a little confused at what you felt was the best social media for the residents to use.

2. There were many good reasons in your essay of why Facebook would be the better choice, but I feel like you sometimes stated too many good things about Snapchat. If you talked more about why residents wouldn't like Snapchat compared to Facebook, then I think your argument would be stronger.

3. The essay was easy to follow and I did not have any problems with organization.

4. If I were

Krakauer tells the stories of several young men going out into the wild much like Chris McCandless. He develops this idea by using rhetorical devices such as the epigraphs that open the chapter which serve to foreshadow the chapter’s content as well as Chris’s later demise.

    In the first essay, the student starts by writing a short summary as to what the article is about. The student then lists the two reasons as to why Foer’s argument is persuasive in a straight-to-the-point, clear, and organized manner. This intro was probably the strongest of the four.

There is little argument made in this paragraph as to how Foer is persuasive; here it is mostly summary of the article.…
