Rhetorical Analysis

This rhetorical analysis is on the book Red Notice. While literature may be the most common form of rhetor that authors use to spread messages, being able to do so in a book is a difficult task to do well. While it may be easier to do so in movies or in motion picture where you can see the emotion, literature has to overcome that hurdle in order to be effective in conveying the message to the intended audience. In the nonfiction account, Red Notice, the theme that’s present is the corruption of governments, and the display of unfairness in oligarchy societies/governments. While this may not be something that can be immediately remedied, the rhetor aims at informing the intended audience and making the problem known. Once the issue is made public, the intended audience, as well as the general public, have the power and the ability to institute change and move towards a solution and a step in the right direction. The rhetorical analysis relates to two of the English 400 course outcomes: #2: Understand the nature of public discourse/debate as determined by purpose, audience, and context; and #4: Analyze the effectiveness of their own texts and processes for specific rhetorical situations. As this rhetor was analyzed with an analysis, as well as the fact that this rhetor is a nonfiction account of events thats’s been made available to the general public, these course concepts are applicable as they fit the purpose of the rhetor and the outcomes of the course.
