It's not a rhetorical question if someone answer it.
Yes it is Yes it is I guess that would depend on if you want this question answered or not. If you don't really expect an answer, YES THIS QUESTION IS DEFINATELY RHETORICAL. ah. Then why did you answer?? :-) Touche.
In "A Separate Peace," a rhetorical question is a question asked for effect or to make a point rather than to elicit an answer. For example, when Gene asks, "Do you really think they'd let him in the Army if there was something really wrong with him?" he is not seeking a response but trying to challenge Finny's belief.
== == Sure is. Just listen to George W. answer rhetorical questions.I agree with the above contributor with exception to the George W. statement. You can also answer a rhetorical question, however, look at the expression on the face of the one who asked the question and you will see that deer in the headlights look.Just think of those times when you ask someone a very simple question and you get bombarded with an over elaborate answer. You know, the kind of answer that had just a bit more information than you really wanted or more than was actually necessary?
One way that rhetorical questions may cause tension is because they are not really questions. The person who asks a rhetorical question does not expect nor want an answer. This can lead to some tension in the person who is not agreeing with the speaker.
Do you feel like you're missing out on the world of fashion?!

It is a RHETORICAL QUESTION. What makes a question rhetorical is that it is not asked as a question, but more as a fact, and does not require an answer. It is usually defined as any question asked for a purpose other than to obtain the information the question asks. * Example : "Why do you keep doing that?" It is commonly used as a persuasive element in a speech or text. * Example : "Does the government really care about the taxpayer?" Sometimes the question is open to an uninvited answer. * Example : "Do you take me for a fool?"
No. It is asking a question that really does not need an answer, in order to make a point. Ever hear anyone say "How could I be so stupid?" That is a rhetorical question. They do not expect you to tell them how they could have been that stupid. It is also used in advertising quite a bit. "Wouldn't you really rather have a Buick?" or "Aren't you glad you use Dial?" are examples.

A rhetorical question is one that is meant to spark debate and not one that can really be answered. Example: Can you pay too much for the perfect pair of shoes?
I really hope that's a rhetorical question...
Because a rhetorical question is no 'question' at all - the speaker does not want an answer. Instead it is a declarative sentence. For rhetorical reasons (!) the formerly declarative sentence's syntax was converted to the syntax of a interrogative sentence - just for rhetorical reasons. If you have a problem understanding this, think of it like this: You could just say "Lisa, I love you" but instead you say something like this "Lisa, your hair is golden as the sun - I adore thee". It's just a lingual trick of the trade to emphasize something. So the rhetorical question is a declarative sentence which is converted to a 'question' to make it rhetorical interesting. Example: "We don't need a fifth wheel on this car." becomes "Do we really need a fifth wheel on this car?"
If you have a reputation for writing essays really well you might end with a rhetorical question, but unless it's just perfect in the context I'd advise against it.

This question cannot really be answered unless you specify which book of Thoreau's you are referring to, as well as the edition.
