"Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise."

"She likes cooking, jogging, and to read."

It makes the text more difficult to understand.

It has no effect on the text's readability.

It makes the text less interesting.

Which of the following fall under the umbrella of repetition? Select all that apply.

Parallelism (parallel structure)

Scenario: Alice recognizes that a text shows evidence of a metaphor at one point and evidence of a hyperbole at another point. She decides to write one BP of her rhetorical analysis about the metaphor and one BP about the hyperbole. What constructive feedback would you provide to Alice?

Since both choices are types of figurative language, Alice should analyze the effects of both the metaphor and the hyperbole in a single BP and consider writing about another choice in the other BP.

Since this is not a literary or poetry analysis, Alice should refrain from analyzing the effects of figurative language.

Alice should write about the metaphor and the hyperbole in a single BP, then analyze a few other figurative language examples in the other BP.

Scenario: Bella recognizes that a text shows evidence of an emotional appeal at one point and evidence of an ethical appeal at another point. She decides to write one BP of her rhetorical analysis about the emotional appeal and one BP about the ethical appeal. What constructive feedback would you provide to Bella?

Try to avoid writing an essay like this because it may result in a limiting, simplistic, and redundant analysis.

Try to avoid writing an essay like this because most pieces of rhetoric will not contain both emotional and ethical appeals.

There is nothing wrong with this kind of analysis.

Scenario: Jacob expresses that he he draws a blank when he is asked to identify rhetorical choices in a given text. What advice would you give Jacob to help home deal with this concern?

Jack should always plan to look for 3 go-to rhetorical choices that are bound to be in practically any piece of rhetoric: shift, tone, diction

Jack should always plan to look for 3 go-to rhetorical choices that are bound to be in practically any piece of rhetoric: repetition, call to action, allusion

Jack should set aside a few days to commit all the rhetorical choices to memory

Scenario: Edward recognizes that the text he is analyzing has a counterargument and he decides to write about it in one of his body paragraphs. What feedback would you provide Edward?

This is a great idea! You may also want to consider analyzing other argument elements evident such as the author's claim and call to action.

This is not a good idea since you are writing a rhetorical analysis, not an argument.
