A rhetorical analysis essay using exigency examines how a text responds to a pressing situation or need (exigency) by analyzing its rhetorical strategies and devices. It explores the interplay between exigency, ethos, pathos, logos, audience, and context, using methods like Toulmin’s Model of Argumentation and Bitzer’s Rhetorical Situation Analysis. By analyzing the rhetorical choices made in response to an exigency, these essays shed light on the persuasive techniques and impact of discourse.
