Rhetorical Modes

Rhetorical Modes:  The flexible term describes the variety, the conventions, and the purposes of the major kinds of writting. The four most common moders are exposition, argumentation, description, and narration. These writting modes are sometimes referred to as modes of discourse.

Example: " It cannot be that I shall live and die a slave."
(Frederick Douglass, Pg 83)

Frederick Douglass by this statemtn is narrating how he felt. That he would not stand to be a slave any longer. He had, had enough and he was going to run away because it was not fair that he was born a slave and he was not igoing to die being one.
