Aristotle writes that rhetoric is "an ability, in each <nowiki>[particular]</nowiki> case, to see the available means of persuasion" (36). In rhetoric, as Aristotle puts it, there are three "species" [[ethos]], [[pathos]], and [[logos]] (Aristotle 37). Rhetoric is used in any form of public address. Often it is used to describe politics, as Aristotle states "thus too, rhetoric dresses itself up in the form of politics" (Aristotle 39). | Aristotle writes that rhetoric is "an ability, in each <nowiki>[particular]</nowiki> case, to see the available means of persuasion" (36).
