After two weeks of studying rhetorical devices, types of rhetoric, and methods for identifying rhetorical techniques, which rhetorical device do you find most effective or compelling, and why?

Prompt Response:  After two weeks of studying rhetorical devices and types of rhetoric, I find pathos to be the most effective and compelling rhetorical device. Pathos appeals to the audience’s emotions, which makes an argument feel more personal and memorable. When a speaker or writer connects emotionally with their audience, the message often has a stronger impact than facts or logic alone.

Summary: today in class we took the rhetoric test

And it's like I want both of these things because they are both beneficial but I can't pick between the two.  Summary: Today in class we read two poems by Emily Dickinson and annotated it with the class.  Reflection:  Today in class I worked on my assignment that is due Friday.
