849 Words4 Pages

When I read this assignment I had no idea what rhetoric is and I was thinking how am I going to get this assignment done. After reading “Thank You for Arguing” by Jay Heinrichs I learned a lot of new things that can benefit people in their daily life. Rhetoric defines as the study of principles and rules of composition formulated by critics of ancient time and the study of writing or speaking as a means of communication or persuasion. Rhetoric also means the language designed to have a persuasive or impressive effect on its audience, but often regarded as lacking in meaningful content.

It should be that way, it may cause problems for my own and it had so even though I perfectly understand the fact of having no control on my anger but sill I just do not happen to change that within me. The other strategy I would like to discuss is “Comfort” so I believe hat I is important for everyone to make sure that their audience feel comfortable around them. So as I talked about my anger I think I should think about I that how can I improve my self like I is described in the book to “keep Its simple and try to get it to smile”. If I apply these things in my life, it will be good for and my audience. Sometimes when I am in a bad mood I do not like to smile and just do my thing if someone distracts me while I am walking or something and they say “smile” I get mad. But from now on I am going to apply these new rhetorical strategies in my daily
