Chapter 10
Rhetorical Modes
10.1 Narration
L E A R N I N G O B J E C T I V E S
1. Determine the purpose and structure of narrative writing.
2. Understand how to write a narrative essay.
Rhetorical modes simply mean the ways in which we can effectively communicate through language.
This chapter covers nine common rhetorical modes. As you read about these nine modes, keep in
mind that the rhetorical mode a writer chooses depends on his or her purpose for writing.
Sometimes writers incorporate a variety of modes in any one essay. In covering the nine modes, this
chapter also emphasizes the rhetorical modes as a set of tools that will allow you greater flexibility
and effectiveness in communicating with your audience and expressing your ideas.
The Purpose of Narrative Writing
Narration means the art of storytelling, and the purpose of narrative writingis to tell stories. Any time you
tell a story to a friend or family member about an event or incident in your day, you engage in a form of
narration. In addition, a narrative can be factual or fictional. A factual story is one that is based on, and
tries to be faithful to, actual events as they unfolded in real life. Afictional story is a made-up, or imagined,
story; the writer of a fictional story can create characters and events as he or she sees fit.
The big distinction between factual and fictional narratives is based on a writer’s purpose. The writers of
factual stories try to recount events as they actually happened, but writers of fictional stories can depart
from real people and events because the writers’ intents are not to retell a real-life event. Biographies and
memoirs are examples of factual stories, whereas novels and short stories are examples of fictional stories.
Tip
Because the line between fact and fiction can often blur, it is helpful to understand what your purpose is
from the beginning. Is it important that you recount history, either your own or someone else’s? Or does
your interest lie in reshaping the world in your own image—either how you would like to see it or how you
imagine it could be? Your answers will go a long way in shaping the stories you tell.
Ultimately, whether the story is fact or fiction, narrative writing tries to relay a series of events in an
emotionally engaging way. You want your audience to be moved by your story, which could mean through
