A Rhetorical Analysis Of The Ring

As I delved into writing a story in meeting a potential psychopath, I realized that it categorizes itself as a thriller. I presented a character that seems similar to a horror icon from a popular Japanese novel known as The Ring by Koji Suzuki. In doing so, I felt the need to reflect on my rhetorical choices, analyze how I presented certain aspects, and evaluate how successful I was in achieving my goals in making of this story. Explaining these topics will show how I accomplished creating a narrative involving a psychopath.

Doing this strategy was to make sure readers found a happy conclusion, rather than another disappointing story. It also established that Sakura overcome her weakness and stayed alive.
