I need essay about Blackfish an Rhetoric

Does Blackfish present a fair and convincing argument? Using the film and two outside sources, make an argument about the film’s portrayal of Sea World and the treatment of animals. Notice that “fair” and “convincing” are two separate qualities…

1.Choose at least three quotes and for each quote, 1. Identify what it is doing rhetorically,

2. Make an argument about how this is done effectively/not effectively,

3. Rewrite each quote in an improved way that corrects or adds on two 1 and 2.

Make an argument that explores the details of his position; what rhetorical features make this convincing or unconvincing? Describe in detail by looking at an example from each category. (Hint: You should be able to find an example from each category.) 6-7 pages

The main idea of the essay is to connect the whole article with the rhetoric and mention the 3 categories, which are Pathos, Ethos, and Logos. Find when he relies on pathos and ethos and logos by saying an explanation from the source or article and put quotation for each one. This is the explanation of the 3 elements
