Question

Can someone give me examples of he 4 types of rhetorical modes?

We are having a test over literary terms on Tuesday, and I can not seem to understand the rhetorical modes. Can someone please help out with examples, because I work best with that type of thing.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

Answer 1

If the rhetorical modes you refer to are exposition, argumentation, description and narration, you should check out the following Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhetorical_...

It defines the modes and gives you examples. I hope you find them useful!
