Rhetoric and Composition

Rhetoric and Composition is the study of how language influences communication and persuasion. Rhetoric involves understanding and applying techniques that make arguments more effective, while composition focuses on the process of writing clearly and coherently. Together, they explore how writers shape their ideas to connect with audiences, convey meaning, and evoke responses. This field examines both the art of persuasion and the craft of writing, emphasizing critical thinking, audience awareness, and the clarity of expression in various contexts, from academic essays to public speeches.
