Our Definitions of Rhetoric...for now

Definitions of Rhetoric

Christian’s group: “Rhetoric being a way of altering reality by means of discourse in which following the five canons of rhetoric an audience can be persuaded to feel a certain way.”

Dana’s group: “The effective means of altering reality through persuasion dependent on the situation that the speaker is currently in.”

Erika’s group: “A situation that corresponds with historical knowledge and is interpreted by its audience in either a persuasive or argumentative fashion.”

Rachel’s group: “The blend of artistic and logical expression that invites discourse through which an audience can be persuaded.”

Class Remediation:

Rhetoric is the blend of artistic and logical expression that corresponds with a given context that has the potential to alter the audience’s perception of reality through persuasion.
