I enjoyed reading about how delivery wasn’t always important and no one is quite sure when it became important. But on page 328 it brings attention to the author of Rhetorica ad Herennium and the fact that they placed importance on delivery saying that without it the other parts of rhetoric weren’t effective. I think delivery does play a large role in presenting a piece of writing because the way it is delivered is what draws attention and then lets the other aspects of writing take place. It talks a lot about the physical delivery, such as gestures, fluctuation in tone, and facial expressions. All of this is also taught in drama classes and is learned by all actors which was talked about in the beginning of the chapter. Something I’ve been paying close attention to is the word “invention”. Once again I see it as it describes the process of memory and the use of memorization on page 331. It makes sense that punctuation is what keeps delivery alive in writing as it tells us where the rhetors would pause and stop speaking. Also delivery is in the formation of the structure like in poetry. The clearest example that comes to mind is Dr. Seuss and the way his writing could sometimes be all over the place, even in circles that make you turn the book around. Or in poetry when you place one sentence on one side of the page and the next sentence on the other side. I also love when on page 337 I am discouraged from using topic sentences and separate paragraphs for different topics. I am the type of person to just write continuously and then when editing I have to take all the different topics I combined into one paragraph and rearrange the order of the sentences in hope that it all works out in the end. I still remember when one of my teachers finally told me that I was indeed allowed to start sentences with “and”, and “but”. I was confused as to why for so many years I was forced to find a different way to begin my sentences, when in the end I began to use those words happily at the beginning of my sentence. I think invention also relates to the part that was describing how to use different tools to visually attract people to writing on such things as flyers. Using different fonts and colors and bold or underlined words is a form of invention. Inventing ways to best attract the attention of the audience.
