In the Zambreno article she talks a lot about the story of King Arthor and how even today it is a story that keeps coming back in narratives. I think that this is a great example of a rhetorical tool. People are taking this story that people really like and are changing things and making new stories from it. King Arthur is a story that many people can connect to and the entire point of rhetorical tools are to help reach a certain audience. By just changing things in the story you are still able to reach that same large audience.
Anther tool that is talked about in this article is the historical tool. I love when books and movies use actual historical events. I love the movie Forest Gump because of this tool and I know many other people whoo of when authors involve this historical tool. I think this tool is so affective because people can take a work of fiction and hook it to reality somehow and that accomplishes the entire point of a rhetorical tool which is to reach a certain audience.
