The Young Scholars in Writing journal can be rhetorically analyzed in a sense that the journal is written and directed towards “students who are engaging in undergraduate research and for scholars who are interested in new advances or theories relating language, composition, rhetoric, and related fields,” as directly stated in the journal’s mission statement. That means when the journal is being put together, and articles are being written, they have to keep in mind that fairly specific audience that will be viewing the journal.

Even though this article did not have sub headers, it was easy to indicate what her next paragraph was going to talk about. I figured this out by the third paragraph in because she talked about the next paragraph in the last one to two sentences in her previous paragraph.

While each of her statements includes solid pieces of evidence, it does not include the ‘why’. The statements string along different quotes and the meaning of each. However, the underlying message is not connected back the to the purpose of the essay. The reasoning of sharing the true message is to persuade her audience that the book does not give the right messages to girls. Facts and figures of the connection between abuse and books read would make her theories stronger. The message that abusive relationships are not healthy and that women are strong and can do more the cook and clean needs to be added to Sniders analysis.
