Oh Rhetoric,
Why are you so bothersome?
Every part of my life consist somehow of you. You flow in and out of my mouth and others around me, mostly without being noticed. The study of you is so intense, so complex, nothing on this earth needs to consist of so many ideas. Living in the daily lives of anyone who talks, or writes or think, you infiltrate brains like a conquering emperor. Quick thinking and brave you have to be to fully use the power of rhetoric. It is not fair to those who do not care what comes out of their mouth.

I feel this way SO much of the time! Wow. I'm glad I'm not the only one. :) I thought you did a really good "backward encomium" and loved how it included the elements of an encomium. Good stuff!
Very good word play. I think that it quite effectively presents the underlying point that Rheotoric is a very loud silent battle. That is to say it takes breathe to present but inner toil to utilize effectively. 'It is not fair to those who do not care what comes out of their mouth.' ---Well played LOL
People do take rhetoric for granted! People don't know the importance of there skills to communicate. I like your word choice too! It's a creative way to make your claim about rhetoric. Good job!
Its interesting how you are praising rhetoric, even if it sounds like you are doing the opposite. I love where you say "nothing on this earth needs to consist of so many ideas", thats how I often feel when I'm studying such a complex subject.
Wow this was really good! It was very smart how you wrote it and did kind of an opposite or backward encomium. I like when you said that Rhetoric is conquering and infiltrating our brains, it kinda made me laugh! Also that we don't really mean to use Rhetoric, it kinda just flows out of our mouths without really taking time to think about it. Good job!
