Building on your discussion post for this week, write a rhetorical analysis that shows how the Form and Transformations you identify on the organizations website of your choice that reveal the cultish nature of the organization. How does it use narrative to create a sense of uniqueness or exclusivity? How does it invite the user to identify with the organization? What specific words do you notice that have an important transformational impact? Why does all of this add up to a cultish organization?
Your analysis should include a short introductory paragraph with a clear thesis statement. It should offer multiple paragraphs that highlight key ideas with supporting evidence. And it should offer a short concluding paragraph of at least two or three sentences.
Logistically, the analysis should be double-spaced, in 12-point font, and a full three-pages in length (anything less than a full three pages or more than three-and-a-half pages will be deducted points.
The assignment is worth 60 points. Grading will be based on the strength of your argument (20 points), how well you identify key aspects of Form and Transformations (20 points), the clarity of your writing (10 points), and your ability to follow these instructions (10 points).
