  10. Rhetorical Analysis Thesis Notes • Rhetorical Analysis Thesis Reminders: • A strong rhetorical analysis thesis aims to cover the aspects of the rhetorical situation: subject, occasion, audience, purpose, speaker, and tone. Often these parts are lumped together, and occasionally even implied rather than stated explicitly within the thesis statement. Sometimes, for the clarity and conciseness of the thesis, they are omitted. However, in this case, it’s very important that the writer makes mention of them later in the essay. • The MUST-HAVES: speaker and purpose; these elements are non-negotiable! • EXAMPLE: To encourage appreciation for our American liberties (purpose), satirist Brian Rittgers(speaker) brashly (tone) mocks (purpose) fellow Americans who fail to value and understand (audience + occasion) the breadth of their guaranteed constitutional rights (subject).
