The Rhetorical

         In the article,The Relationship Between Gods and Humans in Aias and the Poetry of Sapphos, by Sujay Kulshrestha, the main purpose of the text is to inform the readers about the relationship between gods and humans. The writer is attempting to accomplish giving the readers insight about the relationship between the gods and humans through Greek Literature. The intended audience would be the people who like the Greek Literature. The audience influences the writer to write many quotes and examples, which should help support the main topic sentence.
        The subject of the text is about Greek gods and humans. This subject is appreciated by the audience because it shows the relationship between the gods and humans through the two pieces of Greek Literature. The topic sentence of the article is, " Reading Greek plays provide valuable insight into the relationships between gods and humans." This thesis states that the Greek plays show insight about the subject of this article, which is gods and humans. 
       The writer used many quotes as evidence in this article. I think the evidence is important because what if some people don't believe what the writer has to say. The evidence shows the readers that what the writer stated is the truth. I believe that appropriate evidence would be quotes from the two pieces of literature that show the relationship between gods and humans. The only type of inappropriate evidence would be, evidence that wouldn't be about the gods and humans relationship.
        This piece is structured with an introduction, four body paragraphs, and a conclusion. The writer begins the essay with the topic sentence to draw in the readers. All the body paragraphs have quotes as evidence and the introduction and conclusion paragraph begin and close the essay very well. I believe that the writing is done effectively. It seems like the writer put much thought and time into the piece.
        The writer was very clear in the writing. The writer didn't use any formal kind of language that was to hard for me to read. In the essay the writer didn't write any specialized terms that I wouldn't be able to understand. The writer did use tropes in the body paragraphs. The writer used tropes to help describe a topic so it would be easier for the readers to understand more clearly.This are also used to enhance meanings for some topics in the essay.
        The writer does not establish himself as an acceptable authority on the subject to the article. The writer never mentioned himself in the article at all. Throught the article he was basing the essay on quotes and facts from the Greek literature and not on himself.
        This type of writing is very close to the type of writing that we follow. There is Introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. In the Indroduction there is a topic sentence that ties the whole essay together. Then in the body paragraphs there is a quote in every body, then after the quote there is the response to the quote. In the conclusion it just basicly repeats itself. But, overall, it was a very well writen essay. I didn't believe it was going to be that good of an article.
