Through a rhetorical analysis the message of a story or article is very clear and to the put, it allows me to summarize the reading in an effective way that not only describes the idea but also what the author meant to show. In the writing seminar we have written a multiple rhetorical analysis for a variety of topics, they’ve related to our readings of the semester, such as “El Deafo” and “Soon I Will be Invincible”.

Number 1

Like Cece Bell from “El Deafo”, this Broadway actress has dealt with the stereotypes and challenges of being deaf. “The message of this article is to inform possible Broadway fans or those reading this article about the life and now acting career of Lauren Ridloff, who is deaf. It is interesting for the audience to see a change in the acting world, where anyone can be accepted, and the write informs us about this change and describes with detail. The writer uses direct sources but includes a lot of his own opinions and views on someone with a disability. He is bias towards his description of Lauren and is not informing about her work but rather her lack of experience.

Number 2

The author of “Soon I Will be Invincible” chooses the second chapter of the book to introduce Fatale to the audience and to The Champions to show how we are on this journey with her. The author uses her superhero status as a metaphor for puberty and the struggles and experiences that go with that. It shows the two worlds that superheroes live in, who they are on the inside, men and women who are human and normal vs their strong powerful superhero mask. This allows the reader to connect to Fatale because humans struggle with showing a side of theirs to the world.
