Rhetorical Analysis Practice
In a recent article for The Guardian, Neil Gaiman, a well-known writer, said this:
I’m going to suggest that reading fiction, that reading for pleasure, is one of the most important things one can do.1
With increasing access to the Internet, fewer and fewer people are reading physical books, magazines, and newspapers in favor of reading on digital devices. But they are also shying away from reading altogether.
Drawing on your own reading and experience, write an essay that defends, challenges, or qualifies Gaiman’s claim.
