The Art of Rhetoric

As for the rhetoric art that I have come to know from the great Greek philosopher Aristotle, was that ethos was your credibility or moral characteristic, pathos is your emotions persuasion, and logos is your logical reasoning. Each of these phrases providing you with clarity in your claim with supporting evidence; mainly focusing on the particular case of persuasion in your statement. I thought these were all very keen and elegant ways of speaking or writing effectively. If you were to be become an effective writer you had to understand these rhetoric terms thoroughly. I definitely felt Aristotle was on to something here and made good sense in his judgment. These do play very important roles in your logic of persuasion, whether it be speaking or writing in any language.
