February 21, 2014 Paper #2 5 page paper. 12pt font, Times New Roman, Double Spaced, and one inch margins. Choose a person that you think would be the next best President of the United States. Make sure you utilize the three rhetorical strategies we have been discussing in class as well as point out and address the different types of flawed arguments that we discussed this week. While writing this paper analyze the pros and cons of your presidential choice while maintaining a tone of neutrality and logic. You must utilize five outside sources. Thus, an MLA Works Cited page is required. Make sure you properly cite in-text and correctly format the WC page. Failure to do so will result in a 20% deduction in overall grade for the paper.
