Rhetoric in Literature
As you may recall from the summer assignment, literature has a rhetoric all its own. It can be used to make appeals to a broader audience, or, as in the example from our text, rhetorical appeals can be made as part of the narration. Authors use rhetoric to make you think or feel a certain way all the time.
Your assignment is to read pages 12-13 in our book and find an example from literature where you see the author using some of the things we’ve discussed thus far to create a particular effect. Bring in a copy to share with the class. If you didn’t talk today, be prepared to talk tomorrow.
