    When authors write they must use strategies to both engage the reader and get their point across. These strategies are called rhetorical appeals and they determine whether or not a text is successful at getting the reader to see the main point. The Free Medical Clinic’s website is there to inform both potential volunteers and patients about how the clinic runs, the services provided, and opportunities that can be obtained at the clinic.

Speaking of power, we have reached the purpose of my letter, power. It is not about acquiring power nor about power itself.…
