Rhetoric is an art of speaking or writing effectively using pathos, logos, ethos and the use of other figures of speech, which I will continue to do in the future. An author can use rhetoric to persuade and inform an audience or to tell a story. An author needs a purpose, audience, text, and setting to do this. The rhetorical situation is made up of many different factors. These factors could be composed of an issue, to spread awareness of something or for entertainment purposes.
The theoretical foundation of my discussion borrows heavily from Lacanian poststructural theory. Here again, I am attempting to gain a fuller understanding, not only of the relationship between language and subjectivity, but also the important roles that community (or collective discourse) and narrative play in the development of subjectivity. In addition to my analysis of Patrick, I also intend to situate the reader as a subject who gains knowledge through narration by identifying his/her own position within textual discourse. My reading necessitates viewing Patrick as the pivotal agent through whom the reader is encouraged to enter the fictional realm, seek and discover knowledge, and finally, carry that knowledge into the real world. In this regard my discussion is very much in the service of the social and political aims of Ondaatje's text.
Professor Ross English 1310 10/07/2014 Rhetorical Mapping Understanding the importance of rhetorical mapping is critical for the comprehension of a text. Through the understanding of rhetorical landscape one develops a deeper grasp of what the author wants to get across. Delineation of the rhetorical landscapes: purpose, audience, rhetor, context, and text helps the reader understand the why, what, and how of the speech. Why the speech was written, what is important about the speech and how the speech is incorporated in the reader’s life. Rhetorical mapping is the building blocks for understanding how to read and analyze a text properly.

Strategic activities may include presentation of the text, vocabulary development, using graphic organizers, and/ or previewing the text. This paper will describe strategic activities that aid in the facilitation of comprehension. Comprehension is the final product of reading, and therefore should require attention and emphasis during literary instructional time. Comprehension is one area where many students have struggles. Comprehension does not require just one-step, instead it is a process that includes vocabulary development and fluency.
Discuss how reflection can develop professional practice through critically analysing two different models/theories of reflection in this module. The definition of reflection has been defined differently by various authors. Cottrell (2010) suggests that reflection is a type of thinking that is linked to gaining a better understanding of something and that it is also an important part of the learning experience and where we can make sense of the experience. This can be related to Boyd and Fales (1983) who suggest that reflection is a process which can be used to examine and explore an area of concern and which could potentially end in a changed perspective. These views can be compared to Boud et al.

Decide if your audience agrees with you, is neutral, or disagrees with your position. Research your topic. A persuasive essay must provide specific and convincing evidence. Often it is necessary to go beyond your own knowledge and experience. You might need to go to the library or interview people who are experts on your topic.
We all play a role in the process, and it is important that we understand those roles. To understand communication, we must understand what communication is. “Communication is any process in which people share information, ideas, and feelings. It involves not only the spoken and written word but also body language, personal mannerisms, and style – anything that adds meaning to a message” (Hybels & Weaver II, 2007, p. 8). Many people feel that communication is based purely on something which is said or written, but as we will learn later, there are other important parts of the communication process.
The support from literature is the image of different communities and cultures. As a reader, we can have an open-minded to the reading of the story. We also learn about other ways of life and how it can reflects with our own life, our history, and situations. If the story we read is an imaginary tale, invented story, novel or even the truth, the method of literature has a way of getting our attention and helps us show the impact that our feelings have about that certain story. Literature replicates the community by the occurrence of different culture, attitude, setting, and belief.
