Effective rhetoric is essential in order to properly communicate whatever message one may be trying to share. Rhetoric is considered effective if it attracts an audience and aligns their opinion with the message you are giving.

By doing research on the topic and releasing a communications plan on what we think can help alleviate the issue we hope to accomplish this goal of unification. Being a part of this group I created two genres that were outlined in the communications plan and by using different forms of rhetoric I hope to be successful in bridging

With these situations in hand, a composer can efficiently use rhetorical analysis to better understand readings and improve writing.

The Art of Rhetoric is the art of persuasion. It is used to persuade with credibility, emotion, and logic. Which is essentially relating to the existence of ethos, pathos, and logos.

According to the 100A assignment sheet for the rhetorical analysis, a rhetorical analysis (R.A.) is a type of writing which evaluates a well written document of a writer. In this assignment, students will get opportunities to improve their writing and develop deep analytic skills to identifying rhetorical strategies that writer will use to achieve the purpose of a well-written document. The audience for this analytical paper will be my classmates, professor, and the committee members of the 100A.

Rhetoric is a course in which students are taught the values of persuasion. And yet, behind this course is the utmost power to corrupt the world, changing it into a world of our own policies. This power, even though seldom discussed, has lead to many intriguing discoveries. One such discovery is how people are able to shape the world they live in simply by choosing the right words. Therefore those who would want the world to be a better place must protect this power. If in the wrong hands this power could cause serious damage. Several authors have striven to protect rhetoric and its power. Few agree on the matter of defining rhetoric, but they know that they must protect rhetoric from dark souls. A single definition of rhetoric must maintain a simplistic nature while incorporating every aspect of rhetoric. However, I argue that rhetoric is a means of persuading audiences of a situation and a particular reality through language and personal appeal. In order to prove this definition I will discuss how rhetoric creates a situation, the shaping of a different reality, the audience, the use of language, and the personal appeal. Finally, I will demonstrate the absolute need for rhetoric.

The definition of rhetoric is quite ambiguous, with different definitions applying to various situations. Similarly, power has multiple types. Rhetoric and power affect me in my daily life in numerous ways, one being the relationship between my twelve year old younger sister and me. One of the definitions of rhetoric that is applicable to the situation between my sister and me is identified by Wayne C. Booth, and is described as the art of removing misunderstanding but also producing misunderstanding (p. 9). James Jasinski describes many types of power, one type being the ability to get people to do the bidding of other people (p. 443).

On Wednesday morning, I woke up with a start. I remembered he hadn’t done his homework the night previous and rushed to get it all completed before going to school. At school, things had been just the same as the day before, a rush of commotion and celebrating. Today, however, he was feeling extra tired, still sore from yesterday’s practice and waking up with a stressful start had contributed to his overall zombie behavior. My fingers uselessly fumbled with his locker’s lock, when Fiona arrived beside me.

As human beings we are always communicating with one another whether it be through speech, writing, et cetra. However, when we communicate there is usually some kind of meaning we are trying to convey or a point we are trying to get across. In order to do so effectively and persuasively, one should use the art of rhetoric. So what is rhetoric? In consideration of Aristotle, Plato, Bitzer and Burke’s theories, rhetoric is the use of language to persuade an audience, within a given situation, to take action they believe to be ethical.

writing skills, but I was not taught very much about rhetoric, and as soon as I encountered new rhetorical situations in different classes, I would feel panic and have a hard time adapting my writing. Once I learned about rhetoric, I could write at least fairly well within any rhetorical situation. I actually spent years working as a reference book author, writing books on subjects completely unrelated to my field of study, and I could do this successfully because I knew how to analyze my rhetorical situation and adapt my writing to that rhetorical situation.

The Rhetoric Process is to understand your audience, speaker and subject. The speaker must present his or her information in a way that they will be clear and concise so the audience will understand what is being presented. The identity of the speaker which effects the argument is called Ethos. The audience will want to know why you are discussing the topic and who the speaker is. If the argument is presented well, the audience will be persuaded on the topic. When communicating with the audience, the speaker must avoid using complex terms and explain things when it’s necessary. This is Pathos which focuses on the audience and their feelings towards what is being presented to them. The subject is the message that the speaker has prepared to
