Fair Warning

If you are one of the six people who did not pick up a packet of Rhetorical Analysis essays, it would be a good idea to borrow one from a friend and take good notes on a piece of binder paper. If you got your packet, be sure to read it and take good notes on it. Give each essay a score and justify the score.
