·        Rhetoric can be defined in three categories
o   Ethos – how the character of the speaker affects the audience
o   Pathos – how emotion plays a role in speech and arguments
o   Logos – how you structure an argument and the use of logic

                         The Devil in The White City” is full of rhetoric and persuasion designed to help the reader understand and feel. There are many examples such as Holmes getting a job at a small store and soon enough taking over completely. He obviously knows how to be persuasive which is pretty normal for a serial killer.

                                        There are many times in my life that rhetoric has made life a ton easier. Getting out of consequences is one of those times that rhetoric can be used and taken advantage of. Not many people like giving out  consequences and if you can take advantage of that emotion, you can generally get out of most consequences.
