Rhetoric- the ability to use language effectively, and persuade
- I know you guys are a little wet behind the ears, so lets just say Rhetoric- is like an available means of Persuasion
- Rhetoric is used when you're not even thinking about it at times, when trying to convince your parents to let you go to a friends house, and you know there will be drinks and condoms but you're still throwing persuasive things out like; look at my grades, look at my room; look how my attitude has been.
Rhetoric can be used for good though, unlike me, you young people may have to use some persuasion to get a job or even get you in to something good, maybe out of something bad.
In this book that I did not read, but I advise you guys to Devil in the white city the serial killer H.H Holmes using ALL kinds of persuasion to kill people, he wears this good smelling cologne, he dresses all nice, he flirts with them "women" (not men, I don't think he got down like that) he just used lots of rhetoric to trick people and destroy them.
