Heyman's essay appeared to have a similar shape to the classical model when organizing her information. The majority of it was narration however, giving the audience and idea about what they're talking about in detail. The Myths section did seem to be a huge refutation section, showing the counterargument to emphasize her position. This argument seems to contain mostly facts, meant mostly for informing others and helping them understand her point of view on the topic.
Since it contains mostly facts and description, the most prevailing pattern would be narration with a bit of description.

Rhetorical Einstein
I can't say that I will explain this very well, because chances are I probably won't... However, I'll explain it in the best way I possibly can.
In terms with the speaker-subject-audience relationships, Einstein wrote a letter to a student explaining to her religion in science. When forming his letter, he wrote in a simplistic manner as a way to help her understand rather than speaking to her in higher formalities which she would probably need a dictionary or a science teacher to help her understand what she just read. He even stated in the beginning of his letter that he tried to make it as simple as possible for her.
The purpose of the letter was that Einstein wanted her to understand where religion stands when it comes to science. He spoke about scientists' lack of faith when it comes to choosing a religion. However, due to scientific research and studies, scientists do believe in the possibility of there being a divine being. It's not that they all of a sudden have faith in the God that everyone else "blindly follows" though. They just have an open mind about a superior being ruling over everything.
As far as I know, the credibility of the letter should be pretty high considering that Einstein is a scientist himself, and that should account for his logic as well. I can't say that there was much emotion drawn from the letter though...maybe towards the end when he spoke about the possibility of a superior being.
From what I was able to draw from the letter, Einstein was rhetorically effective within his letter.
I hope I answered it well enough?

Just a random thought...
Even the strongest walls can crumble and fall. Nothing is meant to be prefect, simple, and bliss. Everyone is bound to make mistakes in their lives...CONSISTENTLY. The thing that truly matters is not the experience, but what you do with the experience to make tomorrow a little better.
