- “Rabbit” is a thought-provoking animation by illustrator and cartoonist Run Wrake. What argument is the creator of the film trying to make? Is it clear? Is it successful? How is it rhetorical? You can watch it here. Your response should be a blog post in the format of your choosing — text, video, podcast, etc. Tag this post “englsh rabbit”.

Notes
I will begin grading your papers this week. To be fair, I send all the papers back to my students at the same time. It generally takes me about two weeks to get through them all. Please be patient.
