An author's purpose in using rhetoric is to?

I think A, because the whole point of rhetoric is to make an argument, and if you want to do that, you want to get the reader to have a specific mindset

The trouble with "rhetoric" is often that it is so "sound-byte"-ish. People like to say a lot with as few words as possible.

The most important part of persuasive essays is making a personal connection. Include information about yourself that will make you stand apart, seem interesting, make a connection with your readers. Text is by nature two-dimensional, but your goal is to make "you" come through the text, become three-dimensional to your reader.. Remember that persuasion is "emotional." So use "emotive" language.

I see one run on sentence that needs to be split. I also see two others that should be combined into one\n\nThat said, a good writer never pads the piece. The whole idea is to make it as clear & concise as possible. As a writer, the only legitimate way to extend this is to add information.\n\nI just did a search & on the first page I opened & found the answer to your problems - with an "s".. Your info or the web page info is incorrect, one or the other  There was enough other info to expand the reason for the tie.\n\nAfter a quick search, I found additional info & an error you may wish to correct.       This is a much better version than the 3 sentences I wrote earlier, correct? That is what I mean by clear & concise.\n \nYou've done all right so far. just a little more..

It is an anonymous quote... feel free to use it, and simply credit the author as "unknown."

1. The author is a first-hand source. He or she was actually part of the action or was there to witness it.\n\n2. The source is written based on information taken from other credible sources.

For the speaker to give refrences to other sources. For them to tell you where to get more information(outside of something that they have written)

Indeed. A great many "why" questions are more rhetorical than inquisitive. For the most part they have a pre set conclusion they want to lead you too. If has been an effective yet overused tatic. It does make for some great debates though.

If the author has a particular way of saying something you couldn't paraphrase or make better, then yes, use a quote.  Also, quote if you are refuting something in the book:\n\n"In "The Progressive Era: Look Where We Are Now!," M. Smartypants expresses the opinion that\n\n    "Quotes are for sissies, and since everyone quotes Abraham       \n    Lincoln, Abraham Lincoln was a sissy too." (p. 23)\n\nThis assessment is incorrect because Mr. Lincoln was not using the quotes himself; he was merely being quoted by others.  This is a prime example of the mis-attribution of quotations to famous figures, which was a leading cause of the Civil War (Smartypants, 1976) in the following ways . . ."\n\nThen at the end of your paper, you would cite M. Smartypants' book, edition, etc. so if someone wanted to look up your quotation on page 23 or your more general paraphrase of his concept from his 1976 book, they could do that.  You're doing a bibliography either way, but quoting allows you to use particular phrases, while paraphrasing allows you to condense whole pages and chapters down to one line.

the diff between a persuasive paper and an argumentive paper is about what the motivation to talk about it is. if you're compairing it to someone else's oppinion, then it's arg. if you're just trying to get people to do or think about something, then it's pers.

One set of quotation marks would suffice. You just have to state your source as well as where the author quoted from.
