Rhetorical Knowledge

·        Focus on a purpose

Definition:  To be determined to present a point.  To stay on topic and task.

Explanation:  I know how to focus on a purpose.  In my argument essay, my purpose was to convince others that animal testing is viable and important.  In my thesis I wrote, “Animal testing isn’t as inhumane as one thinks; it’s very important to discovering new treatments, and it …..”  You can see my purpose is to convince readers that animal testing is acceptable.  Later, in paragraph 2 I wrote, “Without testing animals, we’d not have cures for polio, TB, ……” (Johnson).  As you can see, I am still focused on my purpose since I’m explaining that testing is helpful for cures to diseases.  In my last paragraph I wrote, “…………………………………..”   This drives home my point.  It is clear that I can focus on a purpose, because I did so in my argument essay.
