Writing an essay is no simple task. You absolutely have to
use a process when you are writing an essay. Unless you want your work to be
completely useless, use a process. It’s more than the drafting, brainstorming and
editing. You want your essay to be effective or persuasive. Whether it is arguing
for or against something, moving the reader by simply telling a story,
comparing or contrasting a thought or idea or to break down and elaborate on
something important you, you want to get your message across. Using tools in writing to make your essay effective
and persuasive is called using rhetoric.
Depending on the type of essay you are writing there are
tons of different rules in rhetoric you can use to get your message across.
When writing a narrative, you want to use story grammars. Story grammars are
explicit, vivid details that provide a framework and structure to make the story
make sense. Cause and effect is an
important aspect of rhetoric that provides depth and flow in an essay.
Comparing and contrasting in rhetoric allows the reader depth as well as gaps
so they can better relate to the essay. Lastly, classifying and defining in
writing is a very effective tool you can use when you need to reach an
audience. Classifying is taking a topic or idea and breaking it down into
subtopics. Defining is taking those subtopics and elaborating and defining
them. Using rhetoric in writing is essential to reaching an audience.
