What stylistic and rhetorical choices can an author make to add meaning to their text?

* Expose the deeper meaning of core themes: Looking at the underlying ideas that make up a theme... can lead to subjective/meaningful interpretations of themes.. different from reader-to-reader. This turns a theme into a conversation with the reader.

How this can be done:

* Interviewing a credible person... and then connecting their responses with relevant background information/subjective beliefs and ideas.

* Tying logical ideas in with information/interviews/background that has an emotional aspect to it.

* Stylistically... regulating the flow of the text... so that there are never too many non-engaging factors... nor too much "loose" emotional writing (that only serves as "filler" that interferes with the text).
