Rhetorical Analysis Outline

The two articles I read were "Watching TV Makes You Smarter" by Steven Johnson and "Where Have All the Criminals Gone?" by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner. They both would be a good piece to use for this assignment because they make really good arguments. Johnson makes a good argument as to why television can make one smarter and shows examples of why this is true. The piece by Levitt and Dubner, a chapter taken from their book Freakonomics, is very well written. I have already read the book earlier this year. This chapter is very controversial, but the authors use very good evidence in supporting their argument. That is why I chose to write my rhetorical analysis on the piece by Levitt and Dubner. Since I have already read it once, I feel I can really pick apart the piece and get a lot out of it.
My tentative outline is that I will first summarize the article, or at least summarized the argument and what they are trying to say in it. Then I will go into detail in the next paragraphs explaining what types of examples they used to back up their claim. I will also work on getting across what claim they are making, and why they made it. I want to use as much evidence as I can while also showing how well the argument is made.
