What, exactly, is rhetoric? Provide me some information that explains what rhetoric is, where the idea came from, and how it is applied. Do so in a way that a college student would understand using less than 250 words, and using no more than 3 sentences per paragraph.

Rhetoric was first mentioned by Aristotle in 350 B.C.E. Rhetoric is the act of persuading people in writing or orally to accept the writer’s or speaker’s argument as correct. Rhetoric uses three strategies to persuade: Logos, Ethos, and Pathos. In English, we know them as Logic, Ethics, and Emotion.

Pathos/Emotion means to persuade by direct appeal to a person’s emotions so that they feel what the author wants them to feel. To accomplish this, the author chooses words, examples, and stories that evoke emotion. The ensuing emotional responses such as anger, frustration, or amusement can lead people to become sympathetic to the author’s position.

Logos/Logic means to persuade by direct appeal to a person’s logical reasoning. To accomplish this, the author presents clear, logical connections between ideas, that are supported by facts and statistics or by presenting analogies. If the arguments presented contain unclear or erroneous assumptions in facts or analogic connections, known as logical fallacies, the argument can fail.
 
Ethos/Ethics means to persuade by convincing a person of the author’s inherent credibility based on the author’s credentials and/or the credentials of the sources of facts and ideas presented as part of the argument. To accomplish this, the author presents their own and/or their sources’ academic, professional, and/or authorial history, details their personal experience as it relates to the issue, and demonstrates their complete understanding of the issue’s complexities by using counter arguments to an opposing position.
