The Day of the Locust

Posted: January 15th, 2014

Write an informative, thesis-driven essay that analyzes an aspect of rhetoric in a text. Mention, I wrote ‘An Aspect’ so be specific. Focus on one aspect or rhetorical situation and not a bunch of different things. For example like biblical imagery found in the novel. Just an example here. Its also a rhetorical analysis, so please don’t just give me a summary of the plot and characters w/ an analysis of few events.

The text is the novel, Day of the Locust by Nathaniel West. The essay should be written for an academic audience that is interested in your text and your class theme. Class theme is Los Angeles.
