1. What is invention in rhetoric?
Invention in rhetoric is the process of coming up with ideas for speaking or writing. It has three appeals, ethos, logos, and pathos.

2. What is ethos?
Ethos is an appeal based on the character of the speaker or writer.

3. What is logos?

8. You make an enthymeme from a syllogism by taking out the universal principle. Like:
Fish have gills.
A tuna has gills.
In conclusion a tuna is a fish.
It’s a common thing to know that fish have gills, so you could leave that out of an argument when stating that a tuna is a fish.

So when constructing an argument you need to grasp the audience and make sure they have acceptance of the unstated principle.
