I'm not certain if this constitutes a rhetorical situation, but I'll give it a try:
This past weekend I was diagnosed with Celiacs Disease (don't worry, it's not contagious; it's genetic) which prompts a change in my diet--the elimination of any wheat, rye, and barley products. No bread, beer, pizza, pasta, cereal, ect... Naturally, I have been resistant to the change because in case you hadn't noticed, that is a pretty tasty list of things that I am not supposed to eat for the rest of my life. But my mother, the doctors, and the literature regarding the disease are all determined to get me to change my diet.
Exigence: my eating habits/health
Audience: Me--Brady J.
Constraints: Self interest, I enjoy eating those foods! Societal constraints, eating gluten-free in our food-based society isn't easy!!
Oh Brady, that sucks! No za za. But not to fear! Gluten free is way easier to come by I'm sure you're already finding out. The Co-op has a great selection of gluten free, and that pizza place on Rouse has a gluten-free pizza (at least they used to). Still, I'm a veggie and know the constraints. At least you can still have a burger....minus the bun of course.
