The Rhetorical Situation

First thing I did was look how long this article was and I gotta say that I have never read that much since junior year of high school. I got side tracked so much while reading this I could barely understand what the author was saying. Was so boring! But one of the things that did helped me understand what he was saying by giving examples that almost everyone would know about. But most of the examples weren't rhetorical but Bitzer Lloyd brought up some very good examples of rhetorical situations. I wasn't sure what Bitzer was writing about, then after getting in a page or two I realized that a rhetorical situation occurs whenever there is an audience converse over trying to persuade the audience. When explaining these, he went overboard with the excess words and using analogies to previous analogies which did not make sense in the first place. How is it possible to affect the audience with your speech if from the very start they do not understand you and have to strain to see your point. Was just to long for me to understand what he was talking about.
