Rhetoric Definition Part 2

After reading others classmates' definition of rhetoric, I still define rhetoric as a language that is used to effectively influence or persuade whoever you are communicating with. I believe my classmates and I, have similar definitions of rhetoric. There were no conflicting ideas in our definitions, as they were all somewhat alike. Some classmates focused on the way rhetoric comes across through different languages, and some focused on how some people are grounded to their beliefs if they use rhetoric methods. I mainly focused on the fact that rhetoric is a language used to persuade or influence people.
