Rhetorical Analysis

Textual analysis is the text itself. Textual analysis is more of the language and voice of the writing. It also can differ in the style and structure depending on what you are talking about. Contextual analysis is more of an analysis that places an argument with a larger conversation. It is more of the five W's (who, what, where, when and why). Contextual analysis has more of a purpose or a specific audience it is looking at. Textual analysis also hits on the rhetorical appeals such as logos, ethos, and pathos.
