Basic Questions for Rhetorical Analysis Ms. Avila AP Language and Comp

What exactly is Rhetorical Analysis? Rhetoric: The art of persuasion Analysis: The breaking down of some thing into its parts and interpreting how those parts fit together.

What is the rhetorical situation? What occasion gives rise to the need or opportunity for persuasion? What is the occasion (historical, personal, etc.) that would give rise to the composition of this text?

Who is the author/speaker? How does he or she establish ethos (personal credibility)? Does he/she come across as knowledgeable? fair? Does the speaker's reputation convey a certain authority?

What is his/her intention in speaking? To attack or defend? To exhort or dissuade from certain action? To praise or blame? To teach, to delight, or to persuade?

Who make up the audience? Who is the intended audience? What values does the audience hold that the author or speaker appeals to? Who have been or might be secondary audiences? If this is a work of fiction, what is the nature of the audience within the fiction?

What is the content of the message? Can you summarize the main idea? What are the principal lines of reasoning or kinds of arguments used? What topics of invention are employed? How does the author or speaker appeal to reason? to emotion?

What is the form in which it is conveyed? What is the structure of the communication; how is it arranged? What oral or literary genre is it following? What figures of speech (schemes and tropes) are used? What kind of style and tone is used and for what purpose?

Does the message/speech/text succeed in fulfilling the author's or speaker's intentions? For whom? Does the author/speaker effectively fit his/her message to the circumstances, times, and audience? Can you identify the responses of historical or contemporary audiences?

What does the nature of the communication reveal about the culture that produced it? What kinds of values or customs would the people have that would produce this? How do the allusions, historical references, or kinds of words used place this in a certain time and location?
