1. Identify which option/ genre you plan to use.
One thing in the film that made me angry was the use of James’ power for evil. I.e. he used his power to intimidate, force and threaten voters into feeling obligated to vote for him.
2. Draft a tentative thesis ex: “I want to argue…”.
I plan to argue the fact that we as a people must find a way to do something to make sure that people with high rankings or high places of power don’t take advantage of their power and use it for the purpose of evil.
3. Describe several examples of Rhetorical Appeals.

Great idea! I think arguing that the people must assert their right to check corrupt officials will make an excellent paper.
