What I found interesting...Week 2 Post 3

There were many things within the chapter that I found interesting but what really caught my attention was the five canons of rhetoric; because of how practical it is and the way that these cannons really do need to be completed in order to have a good speech from start to finish. Cicero established these canons which include invention, style, arrangement, memory and delivery. Invention is how a speaker decides on what he or she is going to be speaking about. Style is how a speaker decides the best way to communicate a speech to a particular audience. The arrangement is just as it sounds; the ordering of the speech. Memory, which is one of the most important because it is what really makes us as speakers able to hold it all together and keep all the information arranged in our mind. Finally there is delivery which I think is really important in making people feel what you are trying to convey in your speech or what you are communicating.
