The Art of Rhetoric: Ten Principles of Persuasive Speech 

makes speed 1.5 so he doesn't sound like hes on shrooms

the names of the principles are not "fancy words", they are greek words and for two reasons: 1 - most of them dont have a corresponding english word but must be translated with a periphrase , and 2 - rhetoric was born some 2500 years ago. so kudos to whoever cites their sources and down with the dumbing down of this ancient, precious art

My attempt at Persuasive Speech: I grew up on a chicken farm in Georgia and became an expert at shoveling chicken poop. After all, people need fried chicken and I helped them eat. I went to tech school to get away from the smell and make money. I became an Electronic Technician. I was in a clean place but ended up hating it. I was up to my neck in lies. A component could look like a resistor but it was really an “open” circuit. A capacitor could turn out to be a “short” circuit, I couldn't trust anything. In High School my easiest and best subject was English lit. I loved reading 1984 and answering questions about it. Nothing was easier but I didn't know you could major in English at college! That was 46 years ago - don't make the mistake I did - by all means do what you love! Life is short...

dude. ...thank you so much. I'm going to use this as a reference in writing my poetry and music. seriously, very well presented, i sincerely appreciate it

I had to watch it several times, to get my head around the recognition of the instances. An education! Thank you!

Never found a better video on rhetoric than this. I'm extremely grateful.

Thank you very much for this presentation! I learned a lot! You have a very comfortable way about how you speak amd you are very charismatic- which is great because, to my detriment, I am so very easily bored. Thank you again for the learning experience.

Thank you so much for this video. Please do more!

Ten seconds in and you see a guy with a beard and glasses sitting in front of books and you know that he's applying this stuff.

Thanks for posting, Paul. I enjoyed this.

excellent video: focused and relevant. thank you.

I wish I had come to your masterpiece a little bit earlier when I took my dreams to the university. However, better late than never. I am blissful that I am now here and will try to make good use of your materials to the best of my ability...

Thank you for this video! It really helped me grasp the ideas of rhetoric

Really enjoyed it, and this definitely offers a solid and comprehensive framework for writing an essay or a speech. Fantastic!

Thank you! Excellent lesson, splendidly conceived, structured, and presented. How I wish I had been privy to lectures like that 50 years ago. I will look for more videos from you. I also hope you are the narrator on some books to which I will be listening.

I learned so much Im great full God knows you just save me a enormous amount on tutoring. Bless you.

As an incoming Rhetoric graduate student (check out my ethos), I found this video very helpful! Thank you!

Thank you for this gem of a lesson

Excellent use of the expository as argument for critical analysis of thesis,,,,, as opposed to use of pure critisizm or critique in order to draw out truth.

Amazing, thank you.
