can you analyze these two texts for me ?”What does it mean for rhetoric to be situated?…The situation prompting a rhetorical response may be a political controversy concerning welfare, a religious conflict over the role of women in a denomination, a debate in medical ethics over assisted suicide, the discussions about a policy that would control visitors in university dormitories, or a theatrical performance in which a plea for racial harmony is advanced. Regardless of the topic or particular circumstanced calling it forth, the rhetorical discourse advanced in any such situation is some individual’s response to a particular situation. Thus, rhetoric is a matter of response making” (11).”I would like to expand the definition of rhetoric to include other goal such as achieving clarity through the structured use of symbols…bringing about mutual understanding through careful management of common meanings attached to symbols. Thus, I will define rhetoric as the systematic study and intentional practice of effective symbolic expression” (7).
