John Grisham and Oliver Stone Paper

Write a paper that compares the rhetorical strategies of John Grisham and Oliver Stone in order to determine who has the more persuasive argument.

This paper must synthesize the two authors, meaning you will put their texts into dialogue with one another rather than analyzing them separately. (To put it simpler: you are using evidence from both texts in each body paragraph.)

The best way to outline your argument is to organize by rhetorical strategy (or appeals to an audience). Consider finding the authors’ best examples of each appeal (logical, emotional, ethical), and then, in each body paragraph, compare whose appeal is more effective.
