An angle of vision is not simply written, it is carefully and deliberately constructed through the proper use of five rhetorical strategies.

The first rhetorical strategy I used in my descriptive paragraphs was word choice. I bring this up first because without it, the reader has a vague perception of the story. Although if used accordingly, it revives the story and the reader can fully grasp what you want them to see. The best use of this in my positive paragraph was “spacious”. I wanted the reader to visualize a vast and roomy drive thru while reading my paragraph.

Sentence structure is another rhetorical strategy that also leaves an impression on the reader.

In the Introduction to "They Say / I Say": The Moves That Matter in Academic Writing, Gerald Graff and Cathy Birkenstein provide templates, that were created from fundamental writing moves, that writers usually pick up along the way without realizing it. Those moves are so common that the authors turned them into templates in their book. The authors consider the main template “They Say / I Say” to be the foundation for all successful dialogue. Specifically, Graff and Birkenstein argue that the types of writing templates they offer help less experienced writers, as well as accomplished writers guidance and direction, to structure and generate their own writing. As the authors themselves put

When I first heard Zedd and Bellion’s song on the radio I couldn't help myself to not get attached. I directly “Shazam”ed it and looked it up, I was hooked. Not merely by the beat of the song but by its meaning and let alone Bellion’s breathtaking vocals. Its very uplifting tone is very inspiring.

Moreover, how you understood my essay was good. The context I wanted to tell is all there. The thing I want to suggest you is that if you write a rhetorical strategy, you have to explain it briefly with your own words. and while reading, what I thought and wanted to suggest you was, if you related your experience with what I have said, it would be a better essay.

While there are a few who have grasped the technique, writing well and being persuasive are difficult skills for many people. This is a problem in a society that is highly social and is run by communication through language.
