Did Either of the Candidates "Miss the Mark"??

Choose one section from last night’s speech and read the responses of both candidates. Analyze both responses by considering the following questions:

·  What appeal did each candidate rely on? (logos, ethos , pathos)

·  What was their purpose?

·  What was their tones ? (notice choice of words-diction)

·   In terms of the rhetorical triangle, did their choices help them achieve their purpose?

·  Did either candidate “miss the mark”?
