What is Rhetoric?

Rhetoric is the ability to speak and write effectively and accurately. For example, giving speeches to get your point across or persuasion to a group of people. Another one would be writing a paper with well written language that brings the audience in and makes them want to read the piece. Repetition in writing helps make the audience believe that it is important. In speeches you want to write about things that the audience cares about. The audience is a huge part in what you write about. Attract the attention of the audience through emotion and repitition.
