Rhetorical analysis

this is my first project for composition, "Comparing King Alfred to Gildas." the assignment for this one was to write a rhetorical analysis of something we read in class, so I compared the rhetoric of Alfred to Gildas, since they both wrote about the fall of Britain. I liked my premise and at the time I was proud of it but I can see how I would improve it now, especially with the works cited, which I did terribly. the citations are completely off with how they're supposed to be done. I also wish I'd known more about structuring an essay because if I did I would have made it a lot better. I think this still hold a lot of potential, and I wish I had better skills to make it better.
