For my prewriting, I started out with a basic SOAPSTone to organize the different rhetorical elements of HONY. I then created an "observation/inference chart" to get some ideas of Brandon Stanton's purpose and message. Finally, I brainstormed different rhetorical strategies Brandon uses so I can organize these ideas in my outline later.
My prewriting. I still need to finish my brainstorming!

I commented on
Michael's and
Dee's prewriting.
So far, I like the path that you are taking in pre-writing your rhetorical analysis. I can give you some tips to help with the process. For me, it helps to just jot everything down and then organize it, cutting out any extraneous material, but it varies from person to person. When you come to the pathos section or even if you are adding to your Audience in SOAPSTone, it may help to look at the comments (on either Facebook or the other social media sites this is one) to see what kind(s) of people this attracts and even note their reactions. Logos is pretty straightforward. I would expect the details from the images to go there. Ethos is a bit trickier. You could draw assumptions about Brandon Stanton from how he takes the photos/presents them in addition to the section about him on the HONY website. Good luck brainstorming!
