Rhetorical Analysis Quiz

     Textual Analysis focuses on the text itself. It is the study of an authors word choice and style. In addition to those are other writing features such as structure and voice. The Rhetorical Appeals are a part of Textual Analysis. However, Contextual Analysis focuses on where the argument sits within a much larger conversation. It places a particular point of view on the table of a much larger issue. Somewhere within a broad, far-reaching argument is an authors published point of view. This is what Contextual Analysis tries to uncover. Other parts include the five "W's" (who, what, where, when, why) and the pieces of the Rhetorical Situation.
