The Memorial serves as a call to eloquence, prompting many visitors to leave messages. The form of the message is determined by the individual's choice of redemptive ritual. The interplay of authors' goals and strategies is reflected in messages which pursue redemption through either scapegoating or mortification.

Communication scholars have been attempting to discover how some narratives may “ring true” with an audience by studying the strategies of the storytellers. This study brings these two impulses together through a case study of autobiographical letters written by a turn of the century prostitute to a Boston matron. In creating a narrative of her life, the author uses several rhetorical strategies to recreate her ...

The tragic frame has been thoroughly examined, but other metaphors for rhetorical movements remain relatively unexplored. The rhetoric of selected woman humorists from 1820 to 1880 exemplifies the operation of various frames related to the comic. The prevailing form of women's humor became less and less truly comic, eventually sliding to the satiric and finally into burlesque. The comic frame could not be ...

He was able to balance the contradictory goals of these movements by creating a rhetorical framework that depicted each serving the common end of Anglo‐American superiority. Beveridge's success demonstrates that it is possible for rhetors to adapt to changes in the rhetorical situation without surrendering their personal convictions.

This study investigates the use of “bridging devices”; through an analysis of an early feminist text: Lucretia Coffin Mott's “Discourse on Woman”;(1849). Mott uses the Quaker concept of the “inner light”; to balance the tension between her conservative cultural milieu and her radical goals. Mott's rhetoric is instructive for modern feminists who face the task of uniting women with widely disparate cultural roots.

The “comic frame,” it is argued, is a useful construct for interpreting and assessing certain rhetorical movements.

The memorial is an excellent proving ground for situational theory because the interaction of site and perception is vital to the communication created by the rhetor/audience. The memorial consists of two walls of granite in a v-shape, inscribed with the names of those who died in the Vietnam War. Those who leave ...

The family began its rise well before it erased its impoverished roots and did not always wield influence from a base of money and political clout. Despite their lack of advantages, the Beechers rose to varying heights of power and influence, eventually taking leadership roles in some of the most important social and political contests of their day.
