Question 3 The Delivery

While I was reading chapter one, a concept that I found interesting was delivery. Delivery is the way that someone presents an idea to you. This concept, or canon of rhetoric, was dead on this weekend because a friend of mine was able to convince me to go down to the SJSU football game. When the idea was originally presented to me a week ago I shot it down right away. My friend was not really trying to sell the idea of the trip to me so it was easy to say no. When Thursday night came my friend made a case that this would be an amazing trip and that if I missed it I would regret it. He really put some thought into it and had me convinced that I needed to go on this trip. It was all because of his delivery that i changed my mind about the trip. He was throwing his hands around and painting a picture about how the trip would go. I told that story to say that when I first read the chapter delivery did not catch my eye as something interesting, but after being convinced to go on the trip I began to think about it. I came to the conclusion that out of all the canons of rhetoric delivery is by far the most important.
