Introduction
According to merriam-webster Rhetoric is " the art or skill of speaking or writing formally and effectively especially as a way to persuade or influence people". Realizing the way of employing rhetoric professionally in our communication, makes the way we speak and write more elegant and convincing, Therefore in order to judge the value of a rhetorical text, critics and reviewer rely on what is called discourse analysis that tries to uncover and analyse the rhetorical devices that make some texts hang together and considered coherent and persuasive.

Aristotle’s disquisition the Art of Rhetoric suggests tools that can be utilized in the analysis of rhetoric. The renowned philosopher categorizes numerous literary devices into ethos, logos, and pathos. Suzanne Barakat’s Ted Talk “Islamophobia Killed my Brother. Let’s End the Hate” utilizes all three devices but has an emphasis on the final leg of the persuasion tripod, pathos. Suzanne Barakat make use of pathos to give a speech that creates change..
The first chapter introduced the reader to the art of rhetoric. He describes how rhetoric works through real life examples. He demonstrates ways that rhetoric persuades us like, argument from strength, and seduction. He tells the reader that the sole purpose of arguing is to persuade the audience. He showed that the chief purpose of arguing is to also achieve consensus, a shared faith in a choice.
Rhetoric is a persuasive tool, consisting of logos which is logic and reasoning, pathos which is emotional language and ethos which is character and fundamental values. Rhetoric is a fundamental thing used by pigs and importantly Squealer, whom persuade other animals to follow the pig’s decisions and needs.
Rhetorical analysis refers to the study done by an author's use of words to influence their audience. It is closely related to diction which refers to an author's choice of words. The rhetorical analysis breaks a non-fiction work into sections then explains how the parts work together to create an effect. The effect could be achieved via persuasion, entertainment, or information. This paper will, therefore, divide the book into different sections and give an analysis of such parts to identify how the chapters are organized to help in achieving the intended effect. It will determine the elements of writing used to give the pathos, ethos, and logos. It will further identify the figures of speech used and their effectiveness. The paper will also
These pieces of work include carved wood and stone, manuscripts on stone tablets and reeds, illumination, calligraphy, enameled glass, inlaid metal work and glazed ceramics, preferably from the Turkish and Iranian regions. A common characteristic among Islamic artworks is their brilliant use of colors and the perfect balance between the design and form that they portray. These unique features make these pieces of art create an immediate visual impact to the observers.
Until now, people all over the world use of rhetoric in many situations. We use of rhetoric to write an essay, a letter to friend, or persuade a member in family. If people know how to use rhetoric correctly in every situation, it could bring a lot of power to the receivers. Based on Dr. William, the rhetoric refers to “the study of the art of persuasion”, and it has three elements “rhetorical appeals”: Ethos, Pathos, and Logos.

Rhetoric gives you an avenue to tell a story from your perspective in a way that connects with the intended audience without having to be one hundred percent substantiated. This writing style is evident in almost everything we read from billboards to Internet ads and even political speeches.
Rhetoric is the process by which an author explains his case on a particular subject to the reader using ethos, pathos, and logos in an attempt to persuade
The four ends of discourse are to enlighten the understanding, please the imagination, move the passion, and influence the will” (RACW pg.4). The last source came from philosopher Kenneth Burke who believed, “the basic function of rhetoric [is] the use of words by human agents to form attitudes or to induce actions in other human agents” (RACW pg.4). All of the various described the different aspects of rhetoric and also have a similar motive behind their definitions. Rhetoric is universal although it appears as such a small aspect of writing in English. In this week’s reading, I found also that “Rhetoric depends on the notion that communication does not occur in isolation (RACW pg.4)”. Rhetoric falls within two senses, the first being discursive and the second being meta-discursive. Discursive just describes the act of inventing texts and meta-discursive contains the understanding of text work. Along with the term being introduced was the Rhetorical triangle. The three angles of the triangle are text, rhetor, and audience. Also surrounding the triangle is the context in which the writer is speaking. The context helps identify and answer what is happening and
Rhetoric refers to the actual features of a written or spoken text. (Rhetoric: language is not accidental) The Rhetorical Triangle three basic keys: 1) Understanding persona 2) Understanding appeals to audience 3) Understanding subject. In persona writer’s use voice to affect reader’s understanding and beliefs. Rhetor makes three appeals to audience: 1) Logos 2) Ethos 3) Pathos and subject consider what to include and why to include it. Capitalize on what the audience knows and make them curious. While the basic rhetorical triangle sets out the three initial keys to developing skill with rhetoric, the triangle needs to be modified so that it reflects three vital facts. 1) Context: Time, place, people, events, that influence a work. 2) Intention:
Rhetoric is an art of communication that aims at enhancing the capability of writers or speakers who endeavor to persuade, inform or inspire distinct audiences in exceptional scenarios. As a discipline of recognized teaching and a prolific civic application, rhetoric has played a fundamental role in the Western convention. Rhetoric is acknowledged best from the description of Aristotle who regards it as a compliment of both politics and logic, and terms it as the ability to make an observation in any given instance from the accessible means of influence. Unlike other Aristotle works that have been around for ages,
The Islamic Golden Age was a time of development and change. This period lasted from 632 to 1258 CE. It began with the death of Muhammad and ended with the Mongols invading Baghdad. During the time between these two major events, many things were invented and discovered, and many wars took place.
In chapter 2 of If A then B, Shenefelt and White explain the difference between what it is to have a logical argument and also explain the means of persuasion. The authors show the difference between the logical argumentation and persuasion by explaining how the Ancient Greeks and the Ancient Indians studied arguments. In other words, the main focus of chapter two dealt with distinguishing between what is logic and what is rhetoric. It was discussed that the means of persuasion involves getting people to agree with one by using techniques such as rhetoric. In contrast, logic depends on being rational. Persuasion is connected to rhetoric and logic is connected with rationality. In the example with the Ancient Greeks and the Ancient Indians,
Just from looking at a few pieces of the art of the ancient Egyptians, you begin to notice many defining characteristics about it that make it unique and different from other styles of art. There are an ample amount of recurring features in the art, so this must mean that these traits and aspects are noteworthy. This next section of the essay will go into detail about a few of the many types of art and the stylistic elements that define ancient Egyptian art and make it special and distinguishable from other types of art, and why some particular aspects of the art are important.
The Hagia Sophia church and the Suleymaniye mosque are separated by a thousand years but are tied together eternally. One representing the achievement of the Christian-Byzantine empire and the other representing the ability of the Islamic-Ottoman empire and its architect Sinan. Two empires that had very little in common other than their architecture and region. In earlier history the Dome of the Rock represented the Islamic empire's attempt to rival the newly defeated Byzantine empire and its architectural achievements such as the Holy Sepulchre. As history often repeats itself, with similar political motives the Suleymaniye mosque became the Ottoman's answer to the
