SSR: D.F. McKenzie / Stephen Pacheco

3 Rhetorical Strategies From the Text, Covered in SSR:

1. Using an extended “exemplary case” (i.e. Congreve’s Prologue”) to provide a concrete example of an argument in a way that makes the point for the author, reinforcing their conclusions and providing a basis for their beliefs
2. Providing an updated definition for a phrase or term that corrects the flaws of an accepted or classic version rooted in historical inaccuracies or complications
3. Breaking down a definition – focusing on individual words – expanding the scope, specification, and precise meanings of your argument
