Rhetoric is the idea of using the writing of other authors in order to benefit yourself and further develop your own skills. In order to form some sort of connection with the readers, the author uses specific “gestures, actions, signs, and symbols” to give readers a sense of what the writer is discussing. When contemplating about rhetorical writers, Aristotle is undoubtedly the “most important figure”. He created the main ideas when using rhetorical ideas that are known as “logos (logical), ethos (character), and pathos (emotional). Authors also tend to use certain conventions in order to possibly persuade the minds of the readers by using a specific “genre, style, or even purpose” when writing.
