Recalling the functions of rhetoric, discuss how rhetoric functions in the narrative. Here are some questions you may want to consider in your analysis:
• Did the creator (i.e. author) of the narrative have an intent other
than to entertain?
• Did the choice of narrative “type” (i.e. a poem vs. a movie) play a role in the function of rhetoric in the narrative?
• Is the narrative used to “bring together individuals separated from one another by alienation and competition” (p. 210)?
• Does Burke’s concept of identification play a role?
• Is there extensive use of symbolism in the narrative?
• Can the narrative be analyzed in terms of Burke’s dramatistic
pentad?
• Is there form (i.e. syllogistic, qualitative, conventional) in the narrative?
• How did the situation (per Bitzer) play a role in the rhetoric of the narrative? Consider exigence, audience, contstraints,response.
• What role does language (per Bakhtin) play in the rhetoric of the
narrative?
• Is the creator’s (i.e. author’s) voice (per Bakhtin and Booth) evident in the narrative?
• What role do images (“The Rhetoric of Display”) have in the rhetoric of the narrative?
Not that these questions are not meant to be answered in your
paper. They are rhetorical!…meant to make you think on the
topic.
Please be sure to draw on direct examples from the narrative
in support of your points.
