What does Bitzer not mean by “rhetorical situation”? In other words, how does his view differ from past views that readers might compare to his? Bitzer does not mean that if you understand a text or any type of writing prompt, that does not mean that you will understand the context or the claim of the prompt. Also he states that rhetoric does not necessarily mean that it must be embedded in historic context.

What does Bitzer mean by “rhetorical situation”? Bitzer refers to rhetorical situation as
a complex of persons, events, objects, and relations presenting an actual or potential exigence which can be completely or partially removed if discourse, introduced into the situation, can so constrain human decision or action as to bring about the significant modification of the exigence.

Explain what “exigence” is. Give your own example of an exigence someone could respond to in writing. Exigence is the imperfection marked by urgency.
To know your death date would be a great exigence for preparation of then last hours, minutes and then seconds of life.

Claim: parents that are trying to be their child’s friend as oppose of being a parent are supervising underage drinking in hope to control the behavior or outcome.

Data: According to the article, a teenager had a birthday party in her home last year as parents "supervised" their underage drinking. The parents, trying hard to be their teenage daughter's friend rather than her parents, allowed one 18 year old boy to slip away from the party with other intoxicated youth. Minutes later his life was slipped away and those that were in the car with him were seriously injured.

Warrant: Underage drinking is illegal. Parents should act in more of an authoritative manner with their children and teach them the outcomes and consequences of drinking outrageously.

Grounds: http: My data is correct. The article can be found on this link:::::::::>//0-find.galegroup.com.novacat.nova.edu/ovrc/retrieve.do?subjectParam=Locale%2528en%252C%252C%2529%253AFQE%253D%2528su%252CNone%252C19%2529%2522Juvenile%2Bdrinking%2522%2524&contentSet=GSRC&sort=Relevance&tabID=T010&sgCurrentPosition=0&subjectAction=DISPLAY_SUBJECTS&prodId=OVRC&searchId=R1&currentPosition=1&userGroupName=novaseu_main&resultListType=RESULT_LIST&sgHitCountType=None&qrySerId=Locale%28en%2C%2C%29%3AFQE%3D%28SU%2CNone%2C19%29%22Juvenile+drinking%22%24&inPS=true&searchType=BasicSearchForm&displaySubject=&docId=EJ3010217286&docType=GSRC
