:
1. Part 1:first part of the paper will be a reconstruction of the context of the speech. You
should address the following questions to identify the exigence (defined by Bitzer in
his explanation of the rhetorical situation) and what the rhetor’s goal or goals was or
were.
A. Occasion. When was this speech given? What events led the speaker to
make this speech? What events was the speaker trying to influence in
giving the speech? Remember, there may be an immediate history as
well as a more general history that you might have to explain. What was
the setting for the speech? Were there any customs that the speaker was
responding to?
B. Audience. Who was the audience? What were the goals or desires of the
audience? Was there more than one intended audience? Were there
direct and indirect audiences?
C. Speaker. Who was the speaker? What are the relevant aspects of the
speaker's background? What perceptions did the audience have about
the speaker? What were the speaker's goals (either implicit or explicit) in
this speech?
