Saying Vs. Negotiating

If I was to try to get my point across to my audience by negotiating I would have to delicately prepare my plan of attack. I would first get them engaged into the subject with stases slowly easing them into the conversation by giving them the information needed to know and to progress the audience through the information I was to give them. I would convey the exigence in a way that would make them want to fix that issue at hand. They would feel as if their one goal in life was to back my argument.

  Getting your point across to your reader isn't always just telling them information. depending on your message you must use different techniques to display your information.  As a writer you must understand how to get your point across to the reader. You can take two approaches to conveying your message. You can tell the reader by just relaying your message unbiased and factual, or you can rhetorically negotiate your message by persuading the reader. In example, when talking about animal cruelty you could tell the reader straight facts and leave it at that or go the extra mile like Sarah McLachlan. Sarah McLachlan uses videos (like this one here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gspElv1yvc) of beaten and starved dogs to get her point across. As you can tell Sarah wasn't just letting the dogs be a distant idea she brought them up close and personal for the audience convincing them. For if she would have been less convincing she may not have gotten her point across as well and when making her points she wouldn't have been able to convince as many people to join her cause.


 Without deliberate rhetorical communication of your points you may not be able to convince your audience. For they wont just agree with whatever you write they need something to ease them into their future standing on the subject. Its not as if everything you say becomes fact immediately.
