In my rhetorical analysis I will be analyzing a post from Paige Beuckers’ Instagram. Paige was a top recruited basketball player her senior year (2020), she now attends The University of Conneticut .  Having been such a decorated high school basketball player, Paige has a very large fanbase. She has won multiple state championships, multiple MVP awards, McDonalds All American, and played for the high school team USA all four years of high school. Paige is a Caucasian female and has a younger African-American brother.
