My Rhetorical Life
by Melissa
To Cicero, rhetoric it is about the development of five canons: invention, arrangement, elocution, memory, and delivery. When we develop these canons, we are developing as writers, thinkers, and communicators. And because writing is so much about connecting with ourselves, I developed these canons as a metaphor to look at my life as a writer. So join me as I journey back in and throughout time and share how I have developed my voice.
