Dilemmas, Problems, Constraints, and Other Rhetorical Quandaries

Matthew Newcomb

Abstract

This article argues for using rhetorical quandaries as a basis for composition courses. Following work in composition that considers the notion of “problem,” the article explores constraints as a way to determine main difficulties in writing situations. Course examples indicate connections between difficult writing moments and larger societal dilemmas.
