Concepts....

The overall concept I was greatly interested in was the analyzation of public speaking and characteristics to look for in a presenter. I have seen many speeches I have just never thought anything of them to go into depth analyzation like the text did. It gave me a greater understanding. It discusses the methods Aristotle believed when it comes to persuasion of an audience; ethos, pathos or logos. Whenever I see a presentation now I sort of address it in that way. Although it doesn't work in every situation. Not only did Aristotle introduce the three modes of proof. He also created the five canons of rhetoric. Which was a form of descriptions that divided communication into five parts; Invention (clear descriptive analysis and argumentive discussions), Style (selecting proper words to convey a message), Arrangement (ordering ideas effectively), Memory (ability to retain content, style, and clear minded approach), and Delivery (key to using graceful gestures and soothing voice).
