Work in Progress: Rhetorical Analysis

For my topic I have chosen to write about how water scarcity around the world affects businesses and global human issues coherently. In all honestly I just find this topic very interesting because water is a basic necessity and everyone needs it to live. Humans can only go about three days without drinking water depending on the circumstances. That doesn’t even begin to count all the other things it effect it has on other things such as mother nature.

The two articles i have chosen to analyze are very contrasting of each other but at the same time they are similar. One article is very professional and seems to come across as a report or a study given to an environmental agency while the other source focuses on the economic and political value of water by using more easily understood diction and graphs to show that, in itself is a whole new topic to think about when considering water shortages. This should be important to you, as a reader because it shows how author’s writing styles can more deeply show their views on a topic through their tone, diction and other rhetorical devices.
