The essay that the question requires depends on your personal interpretation of how "Two Critiques of Imperialism" was written and whether that writing matches the aims of the text. In that case, I can't write the essay for you, but I'll show you how to write it.

First it is necessary that you read the entire essay and reread it until you understand it well and recognize the rhetorical resources and strategy that the author used.

Regarding rhetorical resources, you can identify them as follows:

  • Ethos: It is used when the author reinforces ethical concepts within the text. This can be done when the author encourages the correct way to act in certain situations, reinforces moral concepts and even presents political and social concepts.

  • Pathos: It is used when the author stimulates emotional concepts, trying to persuade the reader through sentimentality and emotions.

  • Logos: It is used when the author presents logical, rational and exact concepts.

It is important that you recognize the tone of the text. This tone refers to the feeling the author wants the reader to feel while reading. This tone can be serious, happy, sad, imposing, eager, among others. You will be able to recognize this through the words and the type of language the author uses.

Finally, you must decide what your opinion, your position in relation to everything that was presented in the text.

Now, you can write your essay as follows:

  • Introduction: Present the text, authors and subject covered in these texts. Then present your opinion and how you interpret and position yourself in relation to the subject covered in the text. This is your thesis statement and it should be objective, direct and persuasive.

  • Body: Write two paragraphs. In the first paragraph, present the rhetorical resources presented in the text, the tone, the author's objectives and how you recognized it all. In the second paragraph, show your arguments in relation to this text, showing what you think was effective and what should be modified to make the text more important and efficient.

  • Conclusion: Finish the essay by showing what the text symbolizes, what impact it has on today's world, and restate your thesis statement based on that.
