The article I chose for my Rhetorical Analysis Essay is titled, "Think Globally, Eat Locally." It is written by, Jennifer Wilkins and Anna Lappe, on pg. 163. The Audience they address are average Americans. In the second paragraph they directly say, "We, as individuals..." This gives them better positioning for the advice and critiquing they are about to give pertaining to our eating behaviors. By speaking in "We" and not "you" they are put themselves in the same position as their audience they are addressing.
The event of importance is Global Warming and the ways, we Americans, can help. They specifically focused on Eating Habits and the contribution those are making to green house gas emissions.
Ideologies they are assuming their audiences possess consist of being environmentally conscientious, and eager to contribute. If Americans weren't concerned, their paper wouldn't have any resonance with the people.
The major fears or worries of the authors consist of Americans health and resources, and the condition of the Earth, specifically temperatures.
