Thinking rhetorically Pt. 2

By reading my classmates' definitions of rhetoric, it really opened my eyes to see just how many purposes there are for it. For example, it's used in any language, it can appeal to audiences of different backgrounds and religion, and to fully understand rhetoric it helps to obtain as much information about it as possible, especially before making any assumptions. It did change my viewpoint of rhetoric just a little. I already had a pretty set idea of the meaning but it was definitely helpful to see what others had to say, and because I have a pretty open mind, I read what others said and gave the whole idea of rhetoric a bit more thought.
