ABSTRACT

Rhetoric is Art. The Aristotelian definition defines it as 'the faculty of observing in any given case the available means of persuasion'. Northrop Frye's analysis of scientific work comes at the end of a major analysis of literature and is confined to general discussion. Literary critics have generally limited their art to the analysis of literature. Literary criticism has been filled in past decades with the problem of point of view, especially in analyses of novels. The style of Julian A. Waller's paper is that of an equivalence ratio between author and audience. Waller's paper is one of several major research studies that have resulted in a transformed perspective toward the drinking driver in governmental and legal circles. His study design influences which of two major perspectives should be utilized in thinking about drinking drivers and in developing policies to minimize drinking driving.
