What makes a Rhetorical Situation

   The Rhetorical Situation by Lloyd F. Bitzer was an arguable one of the most boring articles around. It was hard to get to the finish line. Just like others in the class I found that the article did have some aspect that made it stand out.

    The article brings up seven aspects that makes rhetoric a situational means. 1) Discourse is created in response to a situation. 2) Speech is the rhetorical significance based off of the situation. 3) Discourse is a condition. 4) The situations must go through their own life without spawning off into utterance. 5) It invites discourse. 6) Discourse functions as a response to the situation which needs & invitees its.7) Rhetorical response is control by the situation (1-7 can be found  on page 5/6).  The conclusion of the seven aspects of a rhetoric situation is formed by discourse.

    Besides discourse rhetorical situations are composed of three constituents. There is exigence. Exigence is the obstacle in the rhetorical situation. The second constituents is the audience which shapes the changes in the rhetoric situation. While the third constituents is constraints. Constraints are made up of a variety of different facets like people, events, objects.

   Pretty much from my conclusion of Bitzer a rhetorical situation has a lot of components that goes into making something a rhetorical situation. There are three constituents that makes a rhetorical situation and also discourse has a major aspect of of what makes up a situational means.
