I chose three different articles to look at before picking one for my rhetorical analysis
"A Desired Epidemic: Obesity and the Food Industry" by Deborah Cohen is an article discussing the problems with obesity in todays society however the article seems to be more of a rant complaining about the marketers almost as if it was whining. It did not seem as if there is enough to make a claim about the text.
"Ugly, The American" by James Poniewozik is an article that discusses the effects of TV on immigration issues. It also lacks enough substance to write any type of rhetorical analysis because it would be too difficult to find a claim and argue it.
"LOOK@ME: Generation Next is Living Out Loud and Online" by Melissa Ludwig talks about the changes that have occurred with the internet and the problems that might arise. The internet has grown larger than could be imagined at the time it was created and it is not necessarily a good thing.
Outline:
Intro - talk about different aspects of TRACE
talk about history of and use trace to identify the different aspects
what the internet is doing in todays societies, who does it hurt and who does it "help"
negative effects
source for people to get attention
source for stalkers and bad things to happen
govt / authority / employers gaining info they arent privalged to

Ross, your Intro should not "talk about different aspects of TRACE" but it should lead to the thesis statement in which you identify how a claim the author is making is situated within the rhetorical situation.
