Rhetoric

Rhetoric is a way of speaking or writing that is used to convince people. Rhetoric is a persuasion tool used on the audience. There are three parts ethos, logos and pathos.
Ethos comes from the self or I form. Logos deals with the logic of the argument. It is more factual and structured. And Pathos is the emotion part. The speaker or writer is trying to convince you through emotion. It is hard to pinpoint rhetoric mainly because I never really thought when talking to people "what type of rhetoric are they using?" Its interesting now learning about it, and will be even more interesting because I am doing my research project on it. It is interesting to look at writing and see words stick out at you that are rhetoric. Then figuring out why that word strikes you. After some practice this term I am sure I will be able to notice it more often.
