Zambreno Rhetoric....so fancy

By the title of this post I bet you thought you were about to read the fanciest rhetoric tools in the world. Although my blog is important and good for your rhetoric pocketbook, Zambreno is the name of an author. (Yes, I am jealous of her name too.) 

So anyways, she uses rhetoric (!) and I got the awesome opportunity to read some of her work. It included all things Arthur, Roundtable, Kingdoms and Heroes!! Yes, very exciting. Take a look at how I analyzed her use of rhetoric.

So... what did she use? Below is a quick list of the things we discussed about her piece. 

Mutability or Plasticity: Ways in which material can be reshaped depending on the audience.

 Piecemeal: Pulling information from outside sources to support the argument.

Windows of Opportunity: Opportunity in the history of a story where there is a small piece of history behind a character or event that is used to tell the story.

Open-ended closure: Emissions brought up in the story but left alone so there is an opportunity to go back and write more.
