Sinossi

Analyzing Rhetoric: A Handbook for the Informed Citizen in a New Millennium provides students with a means of critically analyzing and evaluating rhetoric. The ability to break down a work of rhetoric – whether an essay, a speech, a film, or someone's most recent tweet or Facebook update – into its constituent rhetorical parts is essential for any informed and involved citizen.

Analyzing Rhetoric: A Handbook for the Informed Citizen in a New Millennium by Robert C. Rowland:

  • Clearly defines rhetoric, the powerful (and sometimes dangerous) effects of it, explains the impact of rhetorical failure, and more.
  • Explains rhetorical criticism, its history, and demonstrates its importance in all facets of life.
  • Presents examples from a diverse group of figures that include Sarah Palin, Booker T. Washington, John Kerry, Mario Cuomo, Jesse Jackson, Ronald Reagan, and more.
