A Rhetorical Analysis paper in Communication, traditionally focuses on a formal speech but here- our object of analysis is a meme.
12 point font for all pages. 1.5 to 3 pages in length in MLA or APA Style.
Include the URL link or image of your chosen meme.
A works cited page is required. Use at least 2 citations from your textbook (other outside sources are welcome as well).
Do not spend more than a paragraph describing the meme itself, majority of content should be on communicative analysis.
Ideally paper will make an argument around one overarching thesis.
