Rhetoric Summary

The article: "An Introduction to Rhetoric: Using the "Available Means"", talks about what are good features to have in a rhetorical speech or piece of writing. One of the essential things it repeats is appealing to Ethos, Logos, and Pathos. Appealing to just one is bad and will not give the most powerful essay, so it is best to use all three in a rhetorical essay. The piece also states that rhetoric is not limited to non-fiction or writing and speaking. It can be visual or a made-up story. Also, some useful techniques to win the reader or audience over is to use exemplification, cause and effect, definition, etc. Lack of these may make the logic of an arguement unclear or faulty.
