Rhetorical Analysis: “Womb for Rent”

Reading Ellen Goodman's article "Rental Uterus" posted in Seattle Times magazine, she found that there are several different aspects of her sentences and that they can be analyzed in detail.

Purpose / Audience: Goodman wrote this article. Many people like me are not aware of this problem. Everyone who reads this article is more specific, it is a woman. Women living in third world countries use their precious birth gifts as a way to earn money. Women who pay compensation for these surrogacy pregnancies are also business. They spend money as a way to pay for the painful work of another job of nine months and childbirth with the child.

Perspective: The author's view is that she is the image of an American woman, Alan Goodman. She is a writer at the Seattle Times, so she is probably the upper class of society. She is a famous, respected newspaper writer, so she has to undergo a lot of education. Therefore, I can argue that she does not understand what women in third world countries get money for these pregnancies, because the author desperately needs money You will never have seen a situation that requires.

Design / Visual Element: In addition to the actual presentation of the article, that presentation will have its own influence on the reader. Author's formatted articles are clear and orderly. She uses a font "Georgia" very similar to "Times New Roman". Because it is easy to read and serious, this is a good font. She also uses font side 14.5. This makes the article more readable due to the size of the font. The layout is neat and neat, there is no picture, the discussion itself is a major viewpoint

Motivation: The author's motivation for writing this article is her anger and worry. She is angry with a wealthy European / Western woman who is paying for substitute pregnancy. She is worried that women in third world countries will accept money as a woman giving birth to a child and turning it into a business to earn it money. She regards this "borrowing from the womb" project as a commercial transaction if you abuse birth celebration.

Question: My main problem with this article is lack of resources. She used a lot of facts throughout this article, but since text reference was not used, I do not know well where I got the information.

Rhetorical analysis of article "uterus rental" We tried to earn money. Then she explained how people started searching internationally for low cost health care plans. Nevertheless, in paragraph 10, Goodman brought a debate to approximately 180 degrees by questioning the spirit or ethics of "how to make babies in the free market". She repeated her argument that a wealthy woman hires an agent but rarely works as an agent. This emphasizes the possibility that poor women are suffering disadvantages. Obviously, wealthy people have privileges and abilities to offer or purchase services, but poor people can only provide services. Poor poor families can not economically benefit from the "growth industry". She also suspects the happiness of surrogacy during pregnancy and states in paragraph 11 "What is the obligation of the family whose child is engaged only in the mother?"

Zachary Stumps conducted a rhetorical analysis of Ellen Goodman's article "Womb for Rent - at the price". Most of his articles analyze the unique structure of Allen's composition. He doubted the influence on Allen's paper late in the newspaper. He also criticized her way of presenting new ideas at the end of the article and did not elaborate on her question. "Rental price - price" depends greatly on emotional appeal. Allen uses a lot of images to convince the reader to one side. The only problem is that the image convinces the other side of my paper. As Zachary said, the reason is that she did not explain her example at the end. Allen raised some very good questions on how surrogate mothers made children birth inhumane, but she spends little time on their questions.
