Rhetorical AnalysisAnalyzing how something is being said
(rhetorical analysis). Looking not solely for what the piece is
about; we are discovering how it is about what it is about. Nine
possible rhetorical forms in the text: example, definition,
comparison-contrast, classification, process analysis, description,
narrative, cause-and-effect, assertion/justification. These are
broad forms that the speaker or writer can take to shape the
message. Writers decide to hang their message upon one or more of
these forms. The first step toward rhetorical analysis is to
identify the forms that the writer has chosen.
