Rhetoric —is the art of persuasion, which along with grammar and logic , is one of the three ancient arts of discourse. Rhetoric aims to study the capacities of writers or speakers needed to inform, persuade, or motivate particular audiences in specific situations.Aristotle defines rhetoric as "the faculty of observing in any given case the available means of persuasion" and since mastery of the art was necessary for victory in a case at law; or for passage of proposals in the assembly; or for fame as a speaker in civic ceremonies; he calls it «a combination of the science of logic and of the ethical branch of politics». - Rhetoric —is the art of persuasion, which along with grammar and logic , is one of the three ancient arts of discourse.

He described three main forms of rhetoric: Ethos, Logos, and Pathos. - According to Aristotle, rhetoric is: "the ability, in each particular case, to see the available means of persuasion." He described three main forms of rhetoric: Ethos, Logos, and Pathos.
Ethos - Ethos
- Ethos is appeal based on the character of the speaker. An ethos-driven document relies on the reputation of the author.
- Logos
- Logos is appeal based on logic or reason. Documents distributed by companies or corporations are logos-driven. Scholarly documents are also often logos-driven.
- Pathos
- Pathos is appeal based on emotion. Advertisements tend to be pathos-driven.
Types of rhetorical devices - Although there exists plenty of overlap between rhetorical and literary devices, there’s also one significant difference between the two. While literary devices express ideas artistically, rhetoric appeals to one’s sensibilities in four specific ways:
- Logos, an appeal to logic;
- Pathos, an appeal to emotion;
- Ethos, an appeal to ethics; or,
- Kairos, an appeal to time.
