***NEW*** How many rhetorical choices should I analyze?
Three in each paragraph, just like the Smith/Bradford paragraph you wrote.
How long should my paper be?
My best guess is that your paper will end up being between 2-3 pages.
How many purposes should my claim/paper address?
A minimum of two, but you might find that those two main purposes have hidden or related purposes to them as well, so you might end up talking about more than just those two.
Do I need to use the purpose frame in the slide show?
No. You can, if it helps you, but it's not required. There are all sorts of good frames you can use. Here's another one: Edwards' sermon begins by creating a sense of ________ and _________ which later culminates is a desire for ______________.
Do I need to use one of the strong verbs from the slide show?
This sounds like a good idea to me, especially if you are not using one of the frames.
Which paragraph do I talk about rhetorical choices in?
BOTH! This is always our main job when writing this style of paper. Both paragraphs talk about the use of certain strategies: some have a fancy name and some do not. But, both paragraph explain how Edwards is using rhetorical choices to help create his purposes.
Do I need to connect back to all of my purposes in each paragraph?
Not necessarily. Because we have chosen to organize our paragraphs based on the chronological order of Edwards' text, you will notice that different parts of his text focus on a different part of his purpose. Therefore, each paragraph talking about his choices might focus more on one purpose(s) than the other.
