Write a 250-word reflection that critiques the speech from the point of view of: TWO of Cicero’s five canons of rhetoric

Select one of the speech excerpts. Write a 250-word reflection that critiques the speech from the point of view of:
(a) TWO of Cicero’s five canons of rhetoric;

(b) TWO examples of figures of speech. The full list: https://files.itslearning.com/data/1821/c1080/rhetorical%20devices.pdf?
(c) Do not share your political opinions. You will analyze, not judge.

This assignment will be graded on a 10-point scale: 10 (A), 5 (C), or 0 (F). I expect you to construct a thesis with which you will lead your short essay. For example, “In his speech to rhetoric students, Soto often appealed to his credibility as a freelance writer and relied on anaphora to demonstrate his knowledge of effective communication.”
You will earn the full 10 points for answering the questions completely and creatively; you will earn 5 points for partially answering the questions, scarcely, and not critically; and 0 points for not answering the questions at all or not putting forth any effort.
