"Rhetoric is the art of influence, friendship, and eloquence, of ready wit and irrefutable logic. And it harnesses the most powerful of social forces, argument" (Heinrichs 4). I included this quote because it was my first basic introduction to rhetoric and how often it is used. The part about ready wit and irrefutable logic stood out to me as well because winning an argument with those two elements makes me happy :)
2.))) "Why should you care which question slots into which core issue? It matters because you will never meet your goals if you argue around the wrong core issue" (Heinrichs 28). The insight I gained from this quote is that to win an argument, I need to keep focus on which core issue i am utilizing and how it could work to my advantage. This part of the book also helped me understand the meaning of each core issue: blame, values, and choice.
3.)))  "To win an argument, don't try to outscore your opponent. Try instead to get your way" (Heinrichs 19). This quote changed how i felt about argumentation and the ultimate goal. I always thought of it as a fight but its more of just persuasion.

CHAPTER 2: An argument is not about beating your opponent, it is about making your opponent agree with you.
CHAPTER 3: Keeping control of the issue and the tense of the argument is important. The issue of the argument helps you persuade your opponent. The tense keeps the argument under control in terms of switching the tense if things sway to your opponents view
CHAPTER 4: The most important thing from this chapter was learning Aristotle's three appeals and how to use them effectively. Ethical appeal is key in winning an argument through arguing by character.
CHAPTER 5: A speaker should pay attention to the audience's expectation of them
CHAPTER 6: You should seem trusting, noble, and like you have good values in order to make the audience agree with you.
CHAPTER 7: More important than seeming very well liked, is seeming knowledgeable.
CHAPTER 8: Selflessness and likability should be part of your character when arguing. One does not have to act like a master of rhetoric, just act honest. Also, you should keep in mind the attitude of the audience.
CHAPTER 9: The emotion you elicit in an argument will decide the outcome.
CHAPTER 10: Anger and blame can be avoided by using calmness, humor, and wit in an argument to encourage persuasion.
CHAPTER 11: You can use your audiences point of view to your advantage by keeping their beliefs and values in mind while you speak.
CHAPTER 12: You can define your own terms an issues of an argument. ]]> 2018-08-30 13:19:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mbolan5825/7p5mqzm2x6df/wish/276564357 mbolan5825 https://padlet.com/mbolan5825/7p5mqzm2x6df/wish/276568157 4.))) "They may think you're a terrific person, but they won't follow you if they think you'll lead them off a cliff" (Heinrichs 57). I chose this quote because it helped me better understand what Heinrichs was saying when he explained that the audience should trust your judgement. I also liked the way he explained it in a humorous way
5.)))"Ethos is not karma; you can start afresh with your cause, craft, and caring in every argument" (Heinrichs 79). The way he explained this made me understand what he meant by performing you personality and reputation. Every audience may require a different ethical appeal.
6.))) "When you remove an appendix, a medical degree proves your craft more than your knowledge of  the Bible" (Heinrichs 69). I chose this quote because it is another example of how Heinrichs uses real world examples to help the audience understand what he means when he uses rhetoric terms.
7.))) "Don't automatically accept the meaning your opponent attaches to a word. Redefine it in your favor" (Heinrichs 117). I like the confidence of the sentence. Also, I thought this would be useful to keep in mind when debating. Words mean what the speakers make of them.
8.))) "The passive voice encourages passivity. IT calms the audience, which makes it a great pathos trick" (Heinrichs 97).
This quote helped me understand that the meaning being passive voice to is to put the audience in an easily persuaded mindset.
9.))) "Exploiting your audience's lust for something can push them from changing their mind to taking action" (Heinrichs 92). This quote taught me more about using desire in an argument and how it can change the outcome of an argument.
10.))) "For that reason, never announce the mood you foster. Anyone who has ever told a joke knows not to proclaim its humor in advance" (Heinrichs 91). The mood you elicit in an argument should sneak in. It should be seemingly effortless. This quote helped me understand what he meant by announcing the mood. And how keeping the mood under control and not give the audience insight into what you're doing with it. ]]> 2018-08-30 13:28:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mbolan5825/7p5mqzm2x6df/wish/276568157 mbolan5825 https://padlet.com/mbolan5825/7p5mqzm2x6df/wish/285479921 -Rhetoric balances the equation for good v. evil.
