Important Parts of a Written Piece

Anyone can write a speech, story, or essay, even my estranged uncle from Morocco, but it takes a certain tact to make it stick. There are certain elements to consider, which is what I learned today, such as rhetorical elements, appeals, and structure. An example of the rhetorical elements would be exigence, which is a term I finally have a grip on after a prolonged period of tearing out my hair. Structure would be syntax, which I also finally understand. I get the feeling this will all accumulate to aid my jab at a rhetorical analysis, and I just hope I will not utterly fail and shame my family name. Again. It is apparently uncouth to devour a can of whipped cream.
