RHETORIC

For some reason I get thrown off with the RHETORIC. I have no idea why but I do. So for this week I am doing a word meaning post!!

Rhetoric is the art of using language, Plato used it alot in especially public speaking and writing, as a means to persuade. Along with logic and dialectic, rhetoric is one of the three ancient arts of discourse.

  1. I didn't get rhetoric either. I have a friend who's an english major who had to help me understand all of that stuff.
