"Rhetorical reason" may be defined as the faculty of discovering the crux of the matter, endemic to rhetorical invention, that precedes argumentation.

What rhetorical devices can you find in this paragraph from The Scarlet Letter?
Q. i need some help, i've found literary rhetorical devices such as tone and figurative language, but i need to dig deeper than the obvious, can u please help? i need to figure out WHY hawthrone wrote this piece the way he did, what is the reason behind his lengthy sentences, why did he use so many exclamation points?..ect...please help me. :) "Yea, woman, thou sayest truly!" cried old Roger Chillingworth, letting the lurid fire of his heart blaze out before her eyes. "Better had he died at once! Never did mortal suffer what this man has suffered. And all, all, in the sight of his worst enemy! He has been conscious of me. He has felt an influence dwelling always upon him like a curse. He knew, by some spiritual sense for the Creator never… [cont.]

A. The exclamation points just indicate that Chillingworth is delivering an impassioned diatribe. And the long sentences are just Hawthorne's style. Also, alliteration.

A rhetorical question of sorts that needs to be posed none the less! ?
Q. For great justice, dare I ask, the awesome Dr. Livingstone (I presume?)... Why not? Why not what, you may ask in return, and share a quizzical look with me? Why not... buy something stupid? Go see something new? Take a trip? Meet a new friend? Try something just-plain-new? Learn a new language? Expand your horizons? Take a picture? Appreciate nature? Yell to no one, for no reason? Smile, because you just want to smile? It's a question of releasing inhibitions. It's best to do so without drugs and alcohol, am I right? At least, it's healthier. For all the sarcastic and stupid replies to this, I hope you absorb some ounce of wisdom that'll carry you through life a little bit better.

A. To add to this: If you're having trouble getting the motivation to get up and do something you've been meaning to do, learn something new, get outside, etc, then try committing yourself to the task for five or ten minutes. The hardest part is often getting started and you may even find you're happy to continue once you've gotten over the initial hurdle. Specifically with foreign language study, a process which takes years, it was much easier for me to commit to five minutes at a time (which often turned into more). Somehow all those little commitments over enough time added up to fluency.

What 'Philosophy' question on QA do you remember best?
Q. Because it gave you the most laughs, was most thought provoking, or most bizarre? It's ok if you remember it for other reasons, such as that it made you feeel sooo goood reading it and answering it. My personal favorite: "May I ask a rhetorical question?"
