Defining Rhetoric

Rhetoric applies the resources of language to speaking and writing and it also aims to expand on a writer or speaker's ability to inform.  Rhetoric is often used to persuade or motivate an audience by creating an effective way of writing or speaking.  Rhetoric also involves what is being said in written or spoken language and how it is being said.
