Rhetorical Analysis
Rhetorical analysis paper is the logical techniques writing to lead the reader to the purpose
and the fact of the text. The rhetorical analysis strategies include description, classification,
narration, compare and contrast, and definition. In addition to using the strategies in the
writing, writers also persuade the reader by using the rhetorical appeals such as Logos,
Pathos, and Ethos. Logos appeals are the facts, statistics, evidence, and logical reasoning
to support for author’s point. Pathos appeals are the ways to explore the emotion and
thoughts of the audience. Ethos appeals are the evidence to demonstrate for the credibility
of the author. In the article “Considerations about Computer Networks security under
various Operating Systems”, Marsanu, Claudi Sichitiu, and George Sichitiu has used
Logos and Ethos appeals, and some strategies such as definition, description, and
classification and division to prove the platform and importance of network security, and
share some operating systems of network security. The intended audiences of this article
are the IT students, and whoever interests in computer network security. The authors
would like to bring the useful information to instruct their audience the platform,
importance, and the basic operating systems in the field of computer network security.
The first ability of the authors to support their argument and the valuable in their article is
known as Logos appeals. Logos appeals express the logical information, evidence, facts,
and statistics that the authors would like to bring to their audience. In the article
“Considerations about Computer Networks security under various Operating Systems”,
Marsanu, Claudi Sichitiu, and George Sichitiu provide the evidence about the importance
of computer network security. First of all, the authors argue that computer networks allow
two or more devices or computer to share the information to each other, and a computer
network is a special system to allow the exchange of information at many level such as
private network, local network and whole world. Because of the purpose of sharing data of
computer network, the authors state that, “Security management objective is to eliminate
or minimize the vulnerabilities of the computer. Computer network security protection
covers all computer and network connected together.” This information is the fact the
author would like to share to the audience about the purpose and importance of computer
network security. When a large number of data is transferred between the multiple devices,
computer network security ensures the data sharing and resolves the harmful problems
