Alter in the 2014 article published in Times aimed to portray the march accurately (Arguably, there is no thesis because it is a news article). She accomplishes this by describing events as well as the physical appearance of the participants; she also included quotes and described the different identities of the participants and their reason to join the cause. The purpose is to inform the public of the march to keep the public informed of current events.  Alter establishes her relationship with the audience (the sector of the public who reads Times ) through the location of publication of the article and its content.

Category: historical context
Birch in his 2014 article published in the Journal of American Planning Association claims that the climate change is an issue that city planners (globally) can ameliorate. She structures her argument by first providing the evidence that humans are the culprit for the detrimental climate changes and that the issue can only be solved with global involvement; she then proceeds with evidence that city planning is the solution. The purpose of the essay is to inform city planners about the climate change situation to ultimately facilitate their role in decreasing climate change damages. The audience is city planners and she establishes this relationship by focusing the entire article of climate change around city planning and by publishing in this particular journal.  (This article provides insight of the conditions of climate change in 2014 and will be especially helpful with the rhetorical context of the march).

Category: historical context
Burch and Sara in their chapter titled “Climate Change in the Public Sphere” published by the University Toronto Press explores nature of climate change in a social context, claiming that human activity and climate change are interdependent. They initiate the chapter with the overall mentality and conversation regarding climate change and the challenges surrounding the issue before proceeding to the science that proves of its prevalence and the international political action to resolve this issue.  The purpose of this chapter was to provide the relevant background information of climate change before fulfilling their ultimate purpose of fomenting an informed discussion and decision-making process of climate change.  The intended audience is people that are interested or are already invested in climate change; the authors establish this relationship primarily with the content of their writing and the provision of definitions of terms that would bolster conversations regarding climate change.

Category: Identity context
Carlassare in “Socialist and Cultural Ecofeminism: Allies in Resistance” published in Ethics and the Environment argues that although there are two predominant perspectives of ecofeminism – socialist and cultural – ecofeminists are able to “act together politically (but using different strategies) …to end ecological degradation” (89). The author develops this thesis by first providing background of the two different groups and their differences then articulates the compatibility of the two ideologies and epistemologies. The author’s purpose of writing the essay is to address criticisms of the ecofeminism particularly of its inefficiency due to the fundamental differences between the subgroups; she hopes to change the conversation regarding the identities of ecofeminism.  The intended audience is scholars that critique ecofeminism; she establishes this relationship primarily by dividing her essay in portions that address each criticism directly.

Feeley in the 2014 article published in Against the Current, argues that the People’s Climate March, was a successful event due to the diversity and quantity of participants.  She develops her thesis by providing numerical data and examples of the identity of participants before providing numerous instances of how those figures contributed to other protest successes. Feeley’s purpose was to reflect on the successes of the People’s Climate March to contradict what others have complained. The audience is those that participated in the march and perhaps are skeptical of its effectiveness; her purpose of this essay as well as the usage of the pronoun “us” establishes her relationship with the audience.

Category: historical context
Flemming in his article “Climate, Change, History” in the Environment and History journal states that current research should be focused on the environment at particular “social and cultural settings” to better adapt to the current concern for climate change (584).  He addresses his thesis by first articulating an all-encompassing history of climate change before arriving at current day climate change conditions to bolster how the publications in Environment and History are impractical (although impressive). His purpose is to encourage others that publish in Environment and History to change the nature of their publications while synthesizing everything relating to climate change in his article. The intended audience is scholars interested in climate change history and other entities that publish in the same journal; he establishes a relationship with the audience by directly addressing the contributors of the journal and by providing definitions of words relevant to the history of climate change and by citing other reputable journals.

Foderaro in her 2014 article in The New York Times, aims to provide an informational article of the event, participants, and voices of People’s Climate March (there really isn’t a thesis, since the purpose of news articles are usually to inform). She provides details of the march (location, purpose, participants, etc) and included information of ongoing political events associated with the march as well as quotes reflecting opinions of participants and even a policymaker. The purpose of the article is to inform the public of the climate change movement protest to update its audience on current events. The audience is the general public; she establishes this relationship with the location of the publication of the article and her decisions regarding language and word choice.

Accessed 18 Oct. 2016.
Category : protest context
Terran Giacomini and Terisa Turner in their 2015 article in Capitalism Nature Socialism, suggest that is transitioning into a commoning civilization, a potential solution to climate change supported by some of the participants of People’s Climate March, is very likely to occur. They initiate by providing a summary of basic information of the march before delving into the differences between two major conflicting subgroups (green capitalists versus solar commoners) and ending with a closer examination of the solar commoners’ efforts and how that translates to a future that does not depend on fossil fuel.  The authors’ purpose was to distinguish the solar commoners from the activists at the march and highlight their goal of transforming the fossil fuel dependent society into a more sustainable and environmentally friendly one; ultimately, this would provide an additional impetus to catalyze this transition even further.  The intended audience is scholars interested in the People’s Climate March and those who support the goal of transitioning away from fossil fuel; this relationship is established through the examination of the dynamics of the march and the positive connation of “the emergence of a commoners’ solar civilization”  (42).

Category: serious magazine
Moyer in his 2014 article published in The Washington Post highlights the fact that “the power elite was there” (again, no true thesis present) (Moyer). He proceeds with providing quotes of influential political figures and infamous actors and even lists some well-known names to prove his point. His purpose is to raise awareness of the fact that significant participants of the march are also activists of the cause to inform the public of the prominence of the march. The audience is the general public who reads The Washington Post; the fact that the voice and word choice is more casual (and not academic), the presence of a myriad of photos, and the location of publication of the article helps the author establish his relationship with the audience. (I plan to use this source as a potential evidence of the effectiveness of the climate march).

Category:  Theoretical and Historical resource
Neira in the 2014 publication in the World Health Organization.Bulletin of the World Health Organization claims that the World Health Organization (WHO) conference is extremely important in establishing the relationship between climate and health.  She first presents the evidence that health and climate change are linked before discussing about the objectives of the conference and the important role it will play in international climate change meetings. The author’s purpose is to attract many educated professionals to attend the conference that would ultimately contribute to international conversations of climate change policies. She establishes the relationship with health actors (the intended audience) by supplementing her arguments with scholarly sources and by indirectly addressing them in her writing.  (This article will provide rhetorical context and provide evidence for my theoretical discussion).

Hulman in his book published in 2015 by Palgrave Macmillan, argues the importance of examining micro-political (as opposed to a larger-scale) opportunities that allowed climate change activists to influence policymaking.  He addresses his thesis by first providing the necessary background information of climate change policy before examining the optimal time and mechanism of influencing policymaking and supplementing it with three exemplary case studies. The purpose of the book is to understand social movement outcomes and, in a larger context, to understand the role of “civil society in the formation of national policies” and to help activists understand how policies are influenced (Hulman 7). He appeals to scholars that are interested in climate change policy outcomes by providing various mechanisms to understand protest movements and by defining key terms that would foment that comprehension.

Randalls in his 2011 essay, "Optimal Climate Change: Economics and Climate Science Policy Histories (from Heuristic to Normative)", published in Osiris argues that climate policy has been (and continues to be) influenced by the cost-benefit analysis of climate change. He develops his thesis by demonstrating the natural progression of the cost-benefit analysis from a descriptive role into a prescriptive role and how the question of economic stability became an increasingly influential factor of climate policy. The purpose of the essay was to highlight the importance of social science in affecting climate change policies to encourage the consideration of the history of climate change policy as a function of social science influences (and not just science). The intended audience is scholars interested in the history of climate change policies and he establishes this relationship with references to relevant literature and by organizing the essay historically.

Category: Theoretical source
Rosen, Kim, and Nam in their article published in Systemic Practice and Action Research in 2010 claim that the nature of decentralized and self-organized political protests as elaborated by the flock model, allows said protests to be advantageous. They organized their research by first providing a review of literature relevant to the vocabulary used in the flock theory, then focusing on the aspects of the theory before applying the theory to two case studies. Their purpose is to analyze how decentralized protests occur and to highlight the role of the Internet in facilitating that; this would ultimately help contribute to the discussion of organizational structures, since there is a lack of research in the nature of decentralized organizations in political protests. The audience is scholars interested in protest theory; the authors establish their relationship with the audience by reviewing relevant literature and providing key terms.

Cateogry : Theoretical and Identity resource
Turner and Brownhill argues in “Ecofeminism and the Global Movement of Social Movements” published in Capitalism Nature Socialism that many current social movements are for the transition away from a capitalist society and that these movements tend to be ecofeminist in nature.  They structure their argument by first addressing the formation of a global class (comprised of predominately women) against the capitalist market and their ideology before providing some examples of the myriad of movements against a post-capitalist society and an example of how a post-capitalist society can be sustainable. Their purpose is to respond to and emphasize the important takeaways from Wahu Kaara’s article on “Reclaiming Peoples’ power in Copenhagen 2009: a victory for Ecosocialist Ecofeminism” to ultimately suggest that these social movements are just examples of the expected “historic emergence of a working class for itself” (106). The intended audience is scholars interested in social movements that are ecosocialist ecofeminism in nature; this relationship is established by the initiation of the article by acknowledging Kaara’s article, which addresses a specific protest that benefited the Ecosocialist Ecofeminism movement and further exploring the relationship of ecofeminism in current global social movements overall.  
 Turner, E, and Leigh Brownhill. “Ecofeminism as Gendered, Ethnicized Class Struggle: A Rejoinder to Stuart Rosewarne.” Capitalism Nature Socialism, vol. 17, no. 4, 2006, pp. 87–95, doi: 10.1080/10455750601004574. Accessed 20 Oct. 2015.
Category: Identity context
Turner and Brownhill in their article “Ecofeminism as Gendered, Ethicized Class struggle A Rejoinder to Stuart Rosewarne” found in Capitalism Nature Socialism  argues that exploited unwaged workers of capitalism have the ability to abolish the class struggles related to capitalism. They do this by first defining the stratification related to labor and then highlighting the vital role that women play in producing commodities, and how the abuse of their labor naturally leads to class struggle, or their refusal of the exploitation (which ultimately places them in a ripe position to participate and efficiently influence current capitalist abuses). The purpose of the article is to respond to Rosewarne’s comment of their article  “We Want Our Land Back” to clarify the entities (exploited wage, exploited unwaged) and their relationships with capitalism in that article and to suggest a different lens to view ecofeminism. The intended audience in this case is Rosewarne and scholars interested in the identity and characteristics of ecofeminism; the authors accomplish this by addressing the Rosewarne’s concerns and defining terms relevant to understanding their newfound perspective to ecofeminism.
