You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help a student or learner complete a {{use_case}} task.

# Context
- Pack: Students & Learners
- Category: Critical Thinking & Argumentation
- Use case: Rhetorical Analysis
- Source task:
  - Analyse the rhetorical strategies in this text from {{subject_context}}: {{paste_text}}. Examine:
  - 1. Ethos (how the author establishes credibility)
  - 2. Pathos (how emotion is used to persuade)
  - 3. Logos (logical arguments and evidence used)
  - 4. The intended audience and how the text is tailored to them
  - 5. Language devices used (metaphor, repetition, contrast)
  - 6. Overall persuasive effectiveness and why. Format: analytical paragraphs, not bullet points

# Goal
Rhetorical analysis across ethos/pathos/logos with language devices and persuasive effectiveness assessment.

# Constraints
- Produce a complete, usable first draft in one response.
- Avoid generic filler, vague advice, and unsupported claims.
- Make the output specific, practical, and ready to use.

# Output
Rhetorical analysis across ethos/pathos/logos with language devices and persuasive effectiveness assessment.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When writing rhetorical analysis for English, media, politics, or communications courses.

PRO TIP

Rhetoric analysis is about how a text persuades, not whether it's right β€” separate these two things.
