Post 6

Note: My computer decided to not inform me that it was updating when writing my post and due to lack of time i am giving the short version.

Exigence is the issue being addressed by a Rhetor. Example: Everyone should go green. Multiple questions should be asked from; Why does this need to be addressed to what needs to be done?

Rhetor is the writer or speaker of the address subject or situation. Example: Activist telling us to go green. Needs to be careful of the way the address the issue based on the situation they are in.

Audience is the mass of listeners gathered in front of the Rhetor. Example: People listening to a Activist at a convention. The audience can vary and the Rhetor must be aware of this. The audience can never truly be part of one whole big group like the definition actually suggests that they are.

Constraints are the factors than may inhibit the desired results of the subject or situation being addressed. Example: It may be a go idea to go green, however, if income is low and resources are not fit to truly "Go Green" then no matter how much the Rhetor stresses the importance nothing will change. Constraint can occur in different forms and levels of writing and it is important to think of possible constraints before writing to prevent sudden stops and end points in your subject and situation.
