? YOUR AUDIENCE: You are writing to an intelligent person who has read Heilbroner’s “Don’t Let
Stereotypes Warp Your Judgment” AND understands that his main argument is that “We should
be aware of and work to reduce our stereotyping.” Your reader is less familiar with rhetoric and
has not thought about how Heilbroner’s text is trying to work rhetorically.
? YOUR PURPOSE: Explain how Heilbroner tries to increase the likelihood readers will accept his
main argument by arguing how one of the three following choices Heilbroner makes is a
persuasive strategy:
? he provides a step by step guide on how to reduce stereotyping OR ? he emphasizes the harm that stereotyping does to the stereotyper
? YOUR ASSIGNMENT’S FORM: This “paper” will take the form of just two paragraphs:
• Paragraph 1: an introductory paragraph which includes an introduction with background
and context that leads into a clear thesis statement which prepares your reader for what
is to come – a rhetorical analysis, and
• Paragraph 2: a body paragraph which includes an effective topic sentence which
establishes what you will argue is a persuasive strategy, a brief reference to the text to
show that Heilbroner, indeed, uses the strategy, and a well-developed explanation in
that paragraph how and why that aspect of the text is trying to work rhetorically to get
his readers accept his main argument.
• ALSO, please format your paper in accord with the MLA Style Guide
? HEILBRONER’S MAIN ARGUMENT: We should be aware of and work to reduce our harmful
stereotyping.
