The five parts of rhetoric are invention, disposition,
style, memory, and delivery. If any of these components are missing then the whole
art of rhetoric is ruined and useless. Every part of a speech is critical for
its success. In the same way ethos, pathos, and logos all work together to form
a successful argument. It is important to shift the strength of your argument
to best fit the audience you will be trying to reach out to. When reaching out
to people who are more oriented around science and math it would make more
sense to focus on logos in order to connect with them. Even though you can
focus in on one part of rhetoric, logos, ethos, and pathos should be used and
the five parts of rhetoric should always be used together. If you’re reaching
out to moms through one of those magazines the stories mostly use ethos and
pathos. Using narrative as the style of the writing would be a good way to put
pathos to use. Developing ethos is what makes the authors writing more
credible. If you build yourself up to connect with the audience they are more
likely to continue to read and listen. Also developing ethos, groups you with
the audience and by finding common ground the audience will more likely accept
you and then accept your ideas. The important part of the argument is that all
the factors are put in together. The only difference is that now a day memory
and delivery aren’t as important, because so much of writing is through media
sources. Memory isn’t important as we now have screens for presenters to read
off of while presenting. The politicians delivering their speeches also have
people who write for them. While memory and delivery have loss importance in
rhetoric, disposition, invention, and style are all critical factors in the
success of a writing. Ethos, and pathos are dependent upon the style and the
way the argument is formed.
