Analysis notes• Ateya generally agrees with Bok’s argument about freedom of speech
in spite of problems that this freedom creates.• Critiques-Where Bok’s rhetoric is (in)effective:
– Uses tact and diplomacy in arg style, so as not to alienate readers – Weak on the surface, but might work (flexible)– General enough (adaptable)– Needs more facts to persuade reader Interviews w/ students would have
been more effective evidence• Critiques-Where Ateya’s rhetoric is (in)effective
– Meet tests (????)-More info needed to understand this– Personal statement effective b/c it gives her credibility (ethos) and shows
emotional connection (pathos) (legitimizes, need to speak, – Personal confirms the writer’s argument by showing agreement (shows
own position/possibility creates bias)– Showing position also keeps arg open for more discussion for reasonable
people to disagree on (key component in academic argument)
