The
Rhetorical Situation
Jennifer Campbell
It can be tricky
to begin writing, especially since every new writing task
always needs to meet different challenges and expectations. To
begin to thinking of what these new challenges and expectations
might be, it is often helpful to clearly define for yourself
what your rhetorical situation for your new writing task
is before you even begin writing. Simply put, the
rhetorical situation is:
-
The Author
-
The Audience
-
The Topic and
Purpose
If any of the elements
of the rhetorical situation change, the resulting text
must change accordingly. |
