1. I have already decided my topic: Hong Kong Democratic Movement, and I have determined my two proposals relating to the topic. I spent about 2 hours(in total) to finally determined the proposals and spent about another 2 hours to determine the annotated bibliography and about 3 hours to form my zero draft as well as to organize my outline.

2. I have an outline for my rhetorical analysis but I haven’t started to write. I decide to write in the evening of Tuesday and revise it on Wednesday.

3.My outline:

1. Generally explain why I choose these two articles for rhetorical(1. Interest about the topic 2.they are related(democracy) 3.related but in difference).point out the personal view that these two articles are all persuasive and use their own rhetorical techniques to support
2. Summarize the main argument in article 1 and article 2 (question: is it better to analyze separately of these two articles or to compared each other in the same aspect one by one?)
3. Analyze rhetorical situation,audience,purpose,images,titles,Aristotelian appeals

4.Conclude (detail the common link between these two articles and differences from the analysis of their rhetorical techniques-inclusio

4.my question: is it better to analyze separately of these two articles or to compared each other in the same aspect one by one?

5.my understanding of the purpose of the assignment: The purpose of the assignment is to practice our critical thinking. When reading an article, we gain information from it. This rhetorical analysis is to help us discover the process, the mechanism of how we gain the information from it, of how we are persuaded by the argument that the author conveyed.
