Arrangement AP Lang & Comp Mrs. Brubaker Name __________________________________ Another element of rhetoric is the organization of a piece, what classical rhetoricians called ?arrangement.? Whether you?re analyzing a text or writing your own, consider how the essay and its individual paragraphs or sections are arranged. Is the text organized in the best possible way in order to achieve its purpose? An essay always has a beginning, middle and end: an introduction, developmental paragraphs of the body, and conclusion. But HOW a writer structures the argument within that framework depends upon his intended purpose and effect. In the following sections, we?ll look at a formal classical model of arrangement; then we?ll examine rhetorical patterns of development.

One needs to understand the intersections of history (& the social sciences) and the individual biography to understand and distinguish between personal troubles and public issues that cannot be solved by any one man" - intersection with hist with ones own personal hist within society - if understand society then i understand my troubles how important they really are. - milieux : social environment - difference btw personal trouble and public: if unempluyment is 1% , and thats u -> personl if unemployment is 15% and thats u -> public
