In this article there is a really interesting topic to talk about which are the rethorical situations, but first lets explain the main idea of the paper. The author descusses about what makes up rhetorical situationg things you may improve to learn or know what rhetoric actually is about. Rhetorical situations can be defined as a set of related factors whose interaction created and controls discourse, so basically is the meaning of the text. Then is when the constituents appear which are things that limit the range of a speaker or writer. For this is important to know what is the discourse about and what other things are neccesary for it. There is also something called constraints which can be the audience present. In the text the author clearly says that a compound rhetorical situation is “made up of closely related individual situations" so we are surrounded of many different kinds of this type of text analysis tools. I really liked this article because it gives us more tools to analyse different arguments of the texts, this also using the Aristotles method, and is important because It is defiantly important for us because we need as students to be able to look at a piece of literary work and look at it on different levels. Not only reading the substance of the piece, but really go deep and looking at the rhetorical factors. If ew really learn this method correctly we may become better readers because we will know how to analyse and writers because we will know how to accomodate and how to make the text sound better and be persuasive.
