     Part 1:
        Throughout the years the word "rhetoric" has been used and interpreted in many ways such as...
                                                  Ability-->Manipulation-->Identity
        Persuasion is the central message of the word "rhetoric" and ability,manipulation and identity are the            components. It's an ability to be able to persuade, to get what you want you have to manipulate by                 persuading and to identify yourself by persuading others how you are different from them. In everyday life you can see persuasion such as politicians, lawyers, movies, ads, conversations etc.

        The Rhetorical Triangle is a concept in which the Greek philosopher, Aristotle portrayed as a relationship between three points, the subject, audience and speaker.
         He made up this Rhetorical Triangle to help the speaker how to make a speech.The speaker will determine how to make his/her statement by providing evidence, which is the subject.After that the speaker will present his statement to an audience in which they are able to believe or accept the information.


      Part 2:
          In the book "Nickle and Dimed" the literary term "rhetoric" fits in by how Barbara Ehrenreich,the speaker,she persuaded the audience by how she involved herself in the low-wage society and experienced all the hard work efforts.She observed how the people who applied at jobs were unsatisfied with how they were treated and how they were battling economically.Throughout the book they had some bullet points on the bottom and explained some evidence of how jobs were back then.It demonstrated to the people who are applying or are planning to, to keep in mind how to choose wisely.
