My rhetoric paper so far.

I have started working on my rhetorical analysis draft, and I must say the volume of reading to find some substantial appropriate article to use can be a daunting task. I guess that’s why it’s called research.
Anyway, I am focusing on articles that talk about how factors not directly related to soccer affects the soccer culture. I am an avid soccer fan. So, it still baffles me that soccer hasn’t really caught on locally and that’s what really motivated me into doing this research. The authors I’ve chosen to research talk about these factors that influence soccer. I was intrigued to learn that the founding father’s mission to resist the influence of England is one of the earliest things that caused soccer not to catch on in the country. I am hoping that from the way the authors talk about these factors, such as race that the audience can understand the things going on in the background to influence the soccer culture here in the states. The authors use statistics, use historical occurences that involved and as well influenced soccer. They use a mix of direct approach by listing these factors and how they affect the game. They also tell stories of people who have been involved in the game and these are things that we as audience can relate to. Hopefully, I can put my rhetoric thoughts together in a way that makes sense that show how the authors’ rhetorics are effective in passing across their points.
