Sample Rhetorical Précis Below is a sample Rhetorical Précis. First, read through the Précis at least twice. Make note of the elements of the Rhetorical Précis as listed below. Identify each element of the directions in the sample. You are working here to understand the form of Rhetorical Précis. The Rhetorical Précis Format a) In a single coherent sentence give the following: -name of the author, title of the work, date in parenthesis; -a rhetorically accurate verb (such as "assert," "argue," "deny," "refute," "prove," disprove," "explain," etc.); -a that clause containing the major claim (thesis statement) of the work. b) In a single coherent sentence give an explanation of how the author develops and supports the major claim (thesis statement). c) In a single coherent sentence give a statement of the author's purpose, followed by an "in order" phrase. Charles S. Peirce's article, "The Fixation of Belief” (1877), asserts that humans have psychological and social mechanisms designed to protect and cement (or "fix") our beliefs. Peirce supports this claim with descriptions of four methods of fixing belief, pointing out the effectiveness and potential weaknesses of each method. Peirce's purpose is to point out the ways that people commonly establish their belief systems in order to jolt the awareness of the reader into considering how their own belief system may the product of such methods and to consider what Peirce calls "the method of science" as a progressive alternative to the other three.

Hughes, Langston. “Let America Be America Again.” Poets.org, Academy of American Poets,

Langston Hughes’ poem “Let America be America Again” (1902-1967) argues that
America is no longer the America it used to be and that it should go back to its original state. The
speaker supports his claims by outlining the reasons as to why the ideal America is no more, as
well as how it could still return to such a state. Hughes poem is meant to explore the dark areas
of life by highlighting the specific struggles of both white and black individuals who make up
America and provide a way forward with some hope.
