Analyzing Purpose for Rhetorical Argument

Give opinion

Give information

Assumes people already have background information

This is what I'm going to go with

Educate people about a topic

Usually pretty well taken care of for a decently important topic

Diesel IS a good choice

addresses people who say that the VW Scandal has proven conclusively that electric cars are the answer

Urea exhaust treatment

Hypocrisy of optional stringent emissions for domestic diesel trucks

inaccurate mileage and emissions tests

lab testing does not actually reflect real world well

should replace with real world tests

adjust requirements accordingly

how the VW scandal even occured

how did they fool the EPA

what their punishment will be

Convince
