A situation in making language an appealing piece of influential art through a variety of means rather than just a form of communication, in order to convince an audience of your argument.
I really like the definition you guys came up with. I like how you referred to it as an art, and how you pointed out there isn't just one means through which this is done.
This is an interesting, well thought-out definition. I didn't think about rhetoric being an "appealing piece of influential art." I thought of persuasion, getting the speaker to persuade the audience to become influenced by rhetoric. Nicely done!
I agree with Emma, most of the definitions we went through in class on wednesday included some portion devoted to calling rhetoric an art. I also like the spin you put on it by calling it an "influential" piece of art. I think that any definition of rhetoric should be clear that it's not just written or spoken word and both this definition and our's covers this. ~Adam Sheppard
