  • You must understand the meaning of the passage, the author's purpose in writing the passage, and the effect of the passage on the intended audience before you begin writing
  • Next, decide what rhetorical devices the writer uses to convey meaning to the reader
    • Does the writer uses particular phrases or details to appeal to the emotions or the logic of his or her intended audience?
    • Are the paragraphs arranged so that each paragraph contributes to the desired effect?
    • Do any stylistic devices (imagery, diction, figurative language, etc.) contribute to the overall effect and purpose?
