It is not enough to win the argument—we must win the person.

Rhetoric Alive! Book 1: Principles of Persuasion, written by Alyssa Barnes, an experienced rhetoric teacher with a Ph.D. in rhetoric, is a clear, compelling, and delightful text on rhetorical theory and practice. It is a vital step for students before they leave high school.

The highly engaging Rhetoric Alive! explores the principles of winsome speech as developed in the foremost text on persuasion, Aristotle’s Rhetoric. The 15 chapters of Rhetoric Alive! step through the essential components of persuasion—the three appeals, the three types of speech, and the five canons. Each chapter includes an exemplary classic text for analysis and discussion, spanning from Pericles’s “Funeral Oration” to Martin Luther King, Jr.’s, “Letter from Birmingham Jail.” Students also have plenty of opportunities to practice developing their own rhetorical skill through weekly workshops, imitation assignments, and oratory presentations.
