A rhetorical analysis of language is not a summary or an interpretation of what the author meant.

That evidence is used to show how an author attempts to persuade whatever audience he has chosen. The rhetorical plan is to analyze the text in terms of with the grain reading, ...

Unless direct evidence linking negative health impact to consumption of GM food is available, GM foods need not be prohibited. Companies have the moral duty to inform consumers about any food ...
