WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?” PAPER

Length: 4-5 pp

In this paper you are required to perform three tasks:

Identify the “question–answer” structure in one book-length memoir and one stand-up comedy video.
Analyze the authors’ strategies by describing how they work with the strengths and weaknesses of the form to provide a persuasive and engaging answer to the question.
Describe how you would provide a powerful and assertive answer to a challenging question you faced, directly or indirectly, in the past. Your description itself has two parts:
The past, in which you experienced the challenge.
The future, in which you are planning to describe that experience to an audience of your choosing.
Use critical terms—rhetorical situation, rhetorical strategy, etc—from Everyone’s An Author to describe how your future self would articulate the experience of your past, and by doing so, engage particular audience(s).
