Thesis Statement:
Colleges should stop ignoring sexual assault on their campuses and take more action in
their students assault cases, Colleges need to help their students and the police to finding the
suilty party, colleges need to set stricter policies and punishments for those found guilty of
sexual assault, and colleges need to take more initiative to ending sexual assault once and for all
on their campus,
Aim:
My aim, may ultimate goal, inthe eng, is to be more knowledgeable in the field of sexual
assault on a college campus, Not only do I want to know more about this topic, I want others to
read my paper and be able to spread the knowledge to others who are not so familiar on the topic.
Twant whatever statistics and facts I find about sexual assault on the college campus to spread to
everyone, giving both those young and old the ability to have an opinion and make astand.[
want to be able to convince whoever reads this that what is currently being done on most
colleges campuses for assault victim:
not enough. I want to be able to persuade at least a few
people with the statistics and inspire those by my writing to take action towards ending sexual
assault on the college campus. | want to be able to come through to at feast one person about thedangers of the college campus, and to warn them of what might await them if they are currently
considering attending a college university,
Audience:
My intended audience covers a wide range of people, From those who are about to attend
college to those who have long graduated from a university, my intended audience ranges from
anyone who works, lives, and attends any college or university in America to those who do not
‘even think about being around a college anytime soon. { specify Americans because, while rape
and assault does happen on other college and university campuses across the globe, the problem
is most prominent within the United States; however, that does not disclude those who live
outside the United States, everyone everywhere should know about this problem,
I want parents, grandparents, children, students, and teachers to read my paper and
become aware of the dangers that people face everyday while attending college. I want them to
read my paper because everyone most likely knows someone attending college; grandparents
mostly likely have grandchildren or even great grandchildren about to attend or are currently in
college; parents might have children in college or about to attend college; children might have
older siblings about to attend college or are about the age themselves to be thinking about
college; students are either thinking about attending college or are currently in college; and
teachers themselves are helping to guide students on a path towards college. My point is
everyone most likely has a connection to someone attending college or about to attend college,
which is why my intended audience is just about everyone beeause just about everyone is of can
be affected by sexual assault on the college campus in some way or anotherto
‘The students who might read my essay are unaware, they are carefree, they are excited to
be able to go and live the college lifestyle. The parents and grandparents are excited for their kids
and grandkids because they have too have been in their shoes and they are excited for their kids
and grandkids. Excitement, however, should not get in the way of safety. These people should
not have to give up their excitement, but they should take more precautions. College has proven
to be a dangerous place for certain types of people, so dangerous that they have been assaulted,
‘maybe on multiple occasions. My audience should be able to Keep up their spirits about college,
but also learn the signs to possible danger around them. College is an experience that many
people look forward to, and that experience should not be taken away by the fear of assault. My
readers should learn that by the time they finish my essay.
Persona
want the audience to perceive me as a near college student who is, like some of my
readers, really looking forward to my life on a college campus. 1 want to present myself as one
who has good intentions towards colleges as a whole and I want to come across as not too hatful
of the campus itself. I want be seen as a person who wants the best out of their college
experience and to not have it ruined by sexual assault. I think this is a great way to, not only,
coincide with the emotional appeal that I am going to try to establish but also let the readers
know that Tam like them, a student who only has a future to look forward to and not have that
future ruined by sexual assault.
Subject Matter:
