“what is rhetoric?” Explain how/why you’ve come to understand rhetoric in the way you do.

Rhetoric is the diction we choose to use in order to obtain an intended response from our audience. Ive come to understand rhetoric in this way because of my experiences in high school, at home, online, and in the business world. I would not use the same diction with my mother that I would with my friends or a business associate. each different scenario calls for a different type of diction and phrasing.
