No matter the form in which we write, a part of the rhetorical situation is the genre of the writing. These two things, genre and rhetorical situation go hand in hand. You cannot have a rhetorical situation without a genre. Our understanding of rhetorical situation and genre can help us understand everyday writing because every piece of writing has a purpose, an audience, and a genre. These different factors can help us analyze pieces of writing to determine whether or not they are something we would consider to be "everyday." Some components of the rhetorical situation are the rhetor, audience, and characteristics of the situation. When you're writing an everyday piece the rhetor has to think about who the specific audience is. For example, the audience for a class speech is different from the audience for a eulogy. We may shape our everyday writing based on the rhetorical situation we're put in. Even in genres, there's sub-genres that have different rhetorical situations which would call for different vocabulary and format.
