Sentence using rhetoric?

An Example in Aristotle's Rhetoric is an instance or a fable, as he describes it. A fable would be the invention of facts by a speaker whereas an instance would be an actual past fact. An Example would be literally an example of something that relates to the story. For examples (no pun intended) : If a man is persuading a group of people to vote for a bill that enables extreme security for the governed, he could say "If we want to avoid acts of terror on the homeland, we must pass this bill to prevent another 9/11." An Enthymeme would be very different. An enthymeme is pretty much a rhetorical (hence the word) question. Rather than telling the audience what to think, the speaker allows them to come to the obvious conclusion. Using the same situation above for this example, the speaker could say "do we want another 9/11 happening on the homeland." The clear answer is no and with the given audience in mind, the obvious conclusion should be to pass the security bill.


How do you test an enthymeme for validity?

Although there is some disagreement about the precise rules for a valid syllogism --particularly about the "existential" requirement -- there is general agreement on some tests. To test the validity of an enthymeme, fill in the missing premise, then examine the premises and the conclusion. Max Black (Critical Thinking) listed eight rules for a valid syllogism. Irving Copi (Introduction to Logic) reduced them to six:1. It must have three, and only three, unambiguous categorical terms.2. The middle term must be distributed at least once.3. If either the major or the minor term is distributed in the premises, it must be distributed in the conclusion.4. Two negative premises yield no valid conclusion.5. If one of the premises is negative, then the conclusion must be negative.6. Two particular premises yield no valid conclusion.
