Rhetoric

The article A Basic Guide to Rhetoric did a very good job of introducing the idea of rhetoric and it's components. Two things were of particular interest to me: the elements of rhetoric along with the design plan. Ethos, pathos, and logos are not new terms for me but this article did a very good job explaining them. I particularly enjoyed that they related those three words to ones that are more common. The design plan was also something that interested me because I am a very logical thinker so I like to have a plan. I am certain that the plan outlined in the article will guide me as I create a rhetorical argument.
