Essay 4 Prospectus

Define the problem and its context:

The problem in my essay is the High prices of healthy foods. The rise in prices makes low-income families struggle to feed their families healthy foods. Because of this it leads them to buying unhealthy foods for their families. Also the low prices of unhealthy food increased the obesity rate in America, but not only did the obesity rate go up so did other medical problems like heart disease and high blood pressure. This is a huge problem and needs to be fixed.

Who is your TARGET audience? Why?

My target audience is the people in the community. I’m choosing the people in the community because it is harder to get the government to change the prices of healthy foods, so it will be much easier for the community to come together and plant their own fruits and vegetables to save money and eat healthy.

Which solution(s) will you propose as the best?

The proposal that I would propose as the best is having the community plant their own fruits and vegetables to save money.

What EVIDENCE will you provide that this is the best plan?

The evidence that I would provide is the examples of other people who is already growing their own foods and information on what Michelle Obama is doing to help with this cause.

How will you build RHETORICAL APPEAL in your proposal, making it convincing to readers?

I would use PATHOS when I talk about the low-income families struggling to buy healthy foods for their family. I will also use pathos when I talk about the high ratings in obesity. I would also use ETHOS when I talk about how Michelle Obama wants to help with childhood obesity and ways to eat healthy.
