Definition: 1. Rhetoric: The act of choosing the most effective means of convincing or persuading an audience. Examples: speeches, poems, essays, novels, advertisement 2. Analysis: The act of breaking something apart to better understand it or see how it works.

APPEALS: Rhetorical Triangle

APPEALS: Another way to look at it(analysis)…

Rhetorical DEVICES Using words in a particular way to convey the author’s meaning or to persuade. Examples: Alliteration, Hyperbole, Metaphors, Antithesis, Understatement, etc.

Appeals vs. Devices Not the same thing… Appeals - What direction works best for your audience in order to get what you want? ethos/pathos?/logos? Devices - Once you know your direction, use the word-tools to make ethos/pathos/logos come alive and convince.

Appeal + Devices = My purpose/message? Which writing strategy My audience? will best harness the Best way to reach them? power of my appeal?

Effective Communication Appeal + Devices My purpose/message? Which writing strategy My audience? will best harness the Best way to reach them? power of my appeal? = Effective Communication (AKA Rhetoric)

AP Rhetorical Analysis Essay

AP Rhetorical Analysis Essay Requires you to: 1. THINK: determine what the author is saying, how he is saying it and (most importantly) WHY he chose to communicate his point in this way. 2. WRITE: a rhetorical analysis essay that describes your understanding of what/how/WHY

Effective Communication (AKA Rhetoric) = Appeal + Devices Authors purpose/message? Which writing strategies His/her audience? did author use to communicate and WHY

Back-pocket strategy: “What/How/Why” Chart When you analyze (break apart) a piece of writing, you will determine these three elements. This is the thinking part, but you will do this on paper until you are well-practiced.

What- What specifically is the author trying to communicate?

What- What specifically is the author trying to communicate? How – How is the author choosing to communicate this information? (identify the device/appeal and provide TEXT evidence)

What- What specifically is the author trying to communicate? Why is the author choosing this device/ appeal? Why is it effective for this particular piece? How – How is the author choosing to communicate this information? (identify the device/appeal and provide TEXT evidence)
