Abstract
In chapter 2 of A Responsive Rhetorical Art: Artistic Methods for Contemporary Public Life, Elenore Long offers her readers some advice. She suggests that if we are uncertain about theory, we skip ahead to read chapters 4 and 5 first, which explains her real-world cases, then loop back to the earlier chapters for setting out questions and defining terms. Being sure of myself as a theorist - and being a cowriter with Elenore on a related project - I was certain I could read the book as it was ordered, and so I ignored her advice. But it was not until chapter 6 that I finally began to feel I had the sea legs for the journey that Long asks us to take. [1st paragraph]
