An author's purpose in using rhetoric is to create a certain effect for the reader.

Rhetoric refers to the use of the figure of speech and other techniques through persuasive and effective writings. The use of the figure of speech helps the author to connect with the reader and vice- versa. It helps in the better understanding and feeling of the story-line.

Some of the examples of rhetorical devices are:

can you list the entire question and narrative on the strangers moving to a town? or screenshot your question and i can better form a paragraph suited to match the question.

you can earn the crowns by answering others questions an being selected brainliest if your answer is the best.

good luck: )
