My friend wrote me a letter expressing how she felt we were growing apart. I was going to call and talk to her but i decided I should write her back it would be easier instead of having to worry about being interrupted. Once she recived and replied to my letter we felt the situation had been resolved. I explained all my thoughts and concerns and gave her examples. Responding to a rhetorical situation is different because it is more that there is no right or wrong just exactly what you want to say how you want to say it.

I think you're right that in a real rhetorical situation, there often isn't a clear right or wrong way to respond. But I think there are more and less effective responses, and good writers have a sense of what will be more or less effective. It's not as if you could say anything and expect to have the effect you want.
