I have learned a lot about rhetoric in the past few weeks due to the numerous articles and assignments we have had on it. I can explain one about the three most basic forms of rhetoric: logos appealing to logic, pathos appealing to emotion, and ethos appealing to context and validity. I also know how and when to use these forms of rhetoric to persuade others. Rhetoric relates to critical thinking because it makes us really look at the author’s message and wants us to think about what they’re really saying why they are saying it, and how they want us to think in feel about it. Being able to detect the three forms of rhetoric is good for critical thinking and being able to come up with your own thoughts, opinions, and articles.
