Compose a 4-6 paragraph essay, of 750-1000 words, analyzing a New York Times op-ed article. The essay should have a sharp rhetorical analysis thesis statement that maps out the essay structure, crisp topic sentence claims for each body paragraph, clear overall organization, and strong development. Explication of adequate textual evidence must be incorporated within each body paragraph (direct quotations, properly formatted and cited) to develop the analysis.
The document should be a Word file (doc, docx) in MLA format (Times New Roman 12pt font, 1″ margins, etc.) and be written in formal standard English with an academic audience in mind.
