Description
This was an essay I did for my English Composition II class. It’s evaluating an argument from a TED talk of my choice. The TED talk I chose for this writing project was "Extraterrestrial’s - Why They’re Almost Certainly Out There” by Chris Crowe talking about the many exoplanets out there in our universe and beyond. The presentation explains the different sizes, the atmosphere, and the number of exoplanets capable of hosting life. The statistics were used in this analysis like the amount of hydrogen dioxide on each exoplanet. I had to determine if Chris Crowe did a good job presenting his topic. The reasoning on why Chris Crows presented this well is he took his time and did not rush it. There is a breakdown of the argument including Ethos, Pathos and Logos describing each aspect of the presentation in the essay. The images that were illustrated in Chris Crowe’s TED talk presentation are referenced in the analysis to bring imagery to the paper.
