As Janet Boyd said in her article of Murder! (Rhetorically Speaking), she explains that the definition of rhetoric as it is what allows you to write (and speak) appropriately for a given situation, one that is determined by the expectations of your audience, implied or acknowledged, whether you are texting, writing a love letter, or bleeding a term paper. My belief is that a rhetorical situation will often come up in a situation when you are speaking and offering an unordinary amount of information that does not justify an answer. The answer for the question has already been implied in the way the question was phrased and asked. When a rhetorical statement is made, it is often detected by the tone the person is speaking. The genre or topic that the statement is being talked about.  Generally, this implies that that the answer is given in the statement and that the there is no need for an answer to be given. The answer is implied and the is a degree of sarcasm that is used when making a rhetorical statement or writing a rhetorical piece. Rhetorical tool can be shown and even learning by the act of reading, participating in conversation and acting in social culture, and even watching movies. When you are talking in rhetorical terms you are talking to an implied audience. The implied audience is that they understand the nature in which you are speaking and they understand when a statement is implied rather than when it begs a question and or a dignified response. I have questions about this article. For example, when is it appropriate to be rhetorical. Do you need to have the specific audience in front of you to be rhetorical or is it required or implied that the audience should already understand the difference between a rhetorical statement rather than a statement that begs a question? My other question is how do you write or text to show a rhetorical statement. Most rhetorical statements are implied and are shown through the tone of the person making the statement. It is difficult to express tone in writing. Sometimes in writing you can was to convey a certain message but the tone is often shown through the emotions of the reading, which then makes the rhetorical statement that the writer was trying to convey not even relevant anymore and the point of the state is now void or completely ignored.
