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

Point Of View And Theme
The document discusses point of view and theme in literature. It explains that point of view refers to the perspective from which a story is told, such as first person, second person, third-person objective, third-person limited, or omniscient. Theme is the underlying meaning or major idea of a work, rather than its subject, and authors express themes through how they make readers feel, characters' thoughts and conversations, character development, and story events and actions.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Four Tips for Effective Short Story Writing
- 1. FourTips for Effective Short StoryWriting
- 2. FourTips for Effective Short StoryWriting Dr. Manfred Alkhas, a graduate of Palmer ChiropracticWest University, has practiced as a chiropractor in San Jose-Campbell, California, since 1992.When he is not working, Dr. Manfred Alkhas enjoys writing short stories.
- 3. FourTips for Effective Short StoryWriting Some writers may believe that the short story is a simplified form of the novel. In fact, a short work of fiction is an entirely different challenge. For amateur creative writers, short stories should focus on four key elements, beginning with a central character. Unlike the protagonists of novels, who can develop over several hundred pages, characters in short stories must be presented to the reader as clearly defined as possible, primed to make a life-defining decision within the first few paragraphs. Second, the main character should also demonstrate a desire. Novels can rely on overarching themes and motifs to entertain the reader and comment on society, but short stories do not have that sprawling luxury.The character must want something immediate and constantly act toward achieving that aim .
- 4. FourTips for Effective Short StoryWriting Conflict, the third area of focus for a writer, represents the bulk of the story. Writers should challenge themselves to present their characters with the most unusual, compelling obstacles to overcome before reaching, or not reaching, their goals. Finally, a short story must signal some sort of change.The character may change, or the world around the character may become different, or possibly the reader is changed. As writers progress, they can additionally focus on developing stylistic hallmarks for their stories.
