The Rhetoric Companion Answer Key: A Student's Guide to Power in Persuasion

The authors have written a lively and practical guide to classical rhetoric appropriately entitled The Rhetoric Companion . At the end of each of the lessons in the actual Rhetoric Companion text are assignments, recommended readings from classical sources, and review questions. Organized by lesson, this nifty booklet contains the answer to every "lesson review" question. It's a valuable resource for a teacher who quickly needs the definition for pathos, the last canon of rhetoric, a quick discussion of ad baculum , or perhaps a couple examples of dactylic words. "As the classical movement matures, teachers and parents need more resources to carry us through rhetoric and toward the quadrivium. The Wilsons provide an easy overview for those trying to gain access to rhetorical skills and a great review for those of us already digging in." --Leigh Bortins, CEO, Classical Conversations and author of The Core: Teaching Your Child the Foundations of Classical Education "Rhetoric, the capstone of a classical Christian education, is well-explained and well-taught herein. In this text we have authors who have learned, in fact, mastered their subject and then shared the wisdom, tools, and techniques they have learned." --Marlin Detweiler, President, Veritas Press N. D.
