I think that the most important rhetorical tool for speaking are Aristotle’s 3 basic tools of persuasion. I think that these are the most important because it goes over every aspect of speaking such as ethos (credibility), pathos (emotions), and logos (logic). Language is so important for public speaking because that is the way you communicate. Without these strategies and differences in language every speech was be plain and uninteresting.

What rhetorical or language tool do I think is the most important? I would have to say being specific is the best tool because when you are specific in what you are presenting then people will not have to ask too many questions because you have covered almost everything which is great seeing as if there are too many questions then that is a sign you haven’t really proved your point.

When asking the question of why language is so important for persuasive speaking it first comes off as obvious at first but going in-depth about the different languages we have learned in our lecture we can see there are intricacies to it. Things like objectiveness and specificity are things you must try to do when doing a persuasive speech as it helps you form your speech easier.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
