Post 8- Rhetoric

               Jodi Picoult uses several writing strategies to really intensify her novel. She uses a technique of switching between points of views and past and present. This is a hard writing style to follow but it allows the reader to get every single point of view from different angles. This gives the reader a more diverse view into different points of view from the book at basically the same time.
               She also tells the story with a ton of foreshadowing. Some of it is blunt and obvious but the majority of her foreshadowing is hidden and you don't realize how symbolic it was until way later into the novel. She uses a variety of basic rhetorical devices to make her novel a better and more successful novel. Her rhetorical devices help the intensity and keep her readers hooked.
