A review of rhetoric focuses on the art of persuasion—specifically how writers and speakers use various tools and strategies to influence an audience. Unlike a summary, a rhetorical review analyzes a message is delivered rather than just what is said. Key Components and Strategies
Effective rhetorical analysis centers on the "rhetorical situation," examining the author, audience, purpose, and context.
