In this blog post I will completely redoing the conclusion of my rhetorical analysis essay. I will be doing this using tips from the Student's Guide.

I feel that my new conclusion is more effective than the original because I feel it wraps up my essay more effectively. I answer the "so what" of why it is important to be able to effectively analyze rhetorical devices. I feel that this new conclusion relates better to the question of the prompt versus the purpose of Mullaney's article, which I focused on in my old conclusion.

Old Conclusion:
Overall, Mullaney’s chosen rhetorical tactics prove very effective in getting his argument across. Mullaney’s article is persuasive because he provides more than enough evidence to prove his naysayers wrong without attacking them. He uses his statistics to prove that social media is valuable to businesses. A business owner that had not implemented a social media aspect into their business would be more than likely inclined to look into adding one.

New Conclusion:
The value of being able to understand the reasons behind an author’s choice of rhetorical devices should not be understated. The ability to do this makes it so much easier for a reader to evaluate the arguments made by an author and what the intended effect of these devices are. Through my analysis of Mullaney’s article readers in my field of business are able to see an example of how to analyze an article in our field. Through my analyze I explained how Mullaney effectively utilizes statistics, builds his credibility through various tactics, and preserves formality throughout his article.
