Hello and welcome to my Website!
Are you "trippin'" when it comes to rhetoric? Does the r-word make your head hurt because you hear your professors talk about it all the time, but you just can't seem to pin-point exactly what it is or how it is used? Well, if so, it's okay to feel that way, and you are not alone. You should keep in mind that rhetoric does not even have a concrete definition, and this webpage is not going to provide you with one. It will; however, provide you with a complete dissection of rhetoric. Through your navigation of this site: I will be your guide. By the time we reach the end, you will know more about rhetorical history; as I discuss rhetoric's emergence; what it was used for; and the contrasting philosophies that stem from the minds of three philosophers whom are known today as "The Greek Trilogy."
