Rhetorical questions make the audience think about an answer to the question but no response is needed. This makes the reader think of all the possible answers, which then becomes memorable to them.
Rhetorical language is any language or wording that conveys a meaning through its structure and form, in addition to its content. Obviously an author can tell the reader something by simply saying it, but often employing a "rhetorical device" or a grouping of words with some rhetorical effect, can emphasize meaning or alter the author's tone. For example, many authors use the common rhetorical device of simile, a comparison with "like" or "as", to aid description. The use of the simile can add depth to the author's meaning, ease to the reader's understanding, and open comparisons for the future; this contrasts the alternate, non-rhetorical method of avoiding the simile and just describing the object in itself.

It depends on the question. For example, a terrible essay hook is asking "Are you worried about global warming?" because such a question would be rhetorical and doesn't really catch the attention of the audience. A more appealing hook would be as follows, "What if Florida isn't here by 2012?" in this question you aren't really asking them their opinion, and it's more thought provoking than the former. With an appealing hook, you'll be able to keep their attention from beginning to end. In some of my essays, I will ask a question at the beginning and then end the conclusion with that same question. However, it all depends on your style, what your teacher likes and dislikes, etc. If your teacher hates essays that open with a question then it's a pretty safe bet that you shouldn't.
