Rhetorical Analysis is a method of critical inquiry that systematically examines how rhetorical strategies function within a text to persuade or influence an audience, distinguishing itself from other forms of textual interpretation by focusing specifically on the deliberate use of language, appeals, and discursive structures as means of achieving rhetorical effect.
