Prompt


(PROCESS)

The essay "The End of Imagination" was written in 1998 by Arundhati Roy in response to the nuclear proliferation and testing being conducted in India and Pakistan. In the speech, Roy introduces a condemnation and a call to action for people in India and around the globe. Read the passage carefully. Then, in a well-developed essay, analyze the rhetorical choices Roy makes to develop her argument about the need for a nuclear non-proliferation movement. Support your analysis of her rhetoric with specific references to the text.
