Tommy Boy
Analyze one of the argument scenes from Tommy Boy.

• Puppet Show
• Zalinsky's Commercial
• Chicken Wings
• Tommy's First Sale
(since this is our in-class example, if you choose to analyze this scene, there will be expectations for you to contribute more to your analysis than just what we discussed in class)
• Zalinsky's Factory
• Tommy's Final Sale

Think about selling brake pads as a form of argument. In order to sell brake pads, Tommy has to construct an argument that addresses his audiences' concerns. Examine these issues using your understanding of rhetoric and the different parts:

Look at the arguments being made and show what effect the Audience, Purpose, and Context have on the argument and how it is formed. Show how these parts of the Rhetorical Situation affect the construction of the argument, causing the person arguing to use Logos, Ethos, or Pathos and how these techniques/strategies are effective and relate to the Audience in this particular argument.

Rhetorical Situation	Rhetorical Tools
Audience Purpose Context	Logos Ethos Pathos

Examine how the Rhetorical Situation influences the construction of the argument and determines which Rhetorical Tools the speaker uses to persuade his audience.
