What is Rhetoric

Rhetoric is a way of getting people to think a certain way. An author can persuade the audience to take his/her new point of view by using rhetoric. One of the most common form of rhetoric seen today are commercial or ads. Producers are trying to make consumers believe that they should buy the product. Almost everything, seen or heard, is some form of rhetoric because the source put their ideas into it.

  1. Rhetoric is the study of effective speaking and writing. In other worlds, it is the art of persuasion. Rhetoric is used basically everywhere in the world we live in today. We can see it on TV commercials, ads on-line and in magazines and in the newspaper. The creator of the ad of commercial is attempting to influence the potential buyer's thoughts and persuade them to buy their product(s).
