After reading other definitions of rhetoric:

 No, my own definition of rhetoric has not changed. Each blog post that I read related to mine in many ways. But one big difference was the examples others used over mine. I read one that referred to a persuasive speech. And I thought to myself that that was clever, and rhetoric as a definition almost became clearer to me. As a conclusion of thoughts, I have found a solid definition of rhetoric to be the specific and unique techniques an author uses, and weaves into their work to create a thoughtful base of understanding between the author and the audience. Done in many ways, rhetoric is commonly, always seen as persuasion. Even through a narrative, whoever is writing the text is trying to accomplish a common base of understanding in the way of simply trying to persuade them to think or see or relate to a certain situation in the same way. No person can put the same words together and create the same personality over again. But rhetoric takes those who can put tone into their piece, and they use other strategies combined, such as describing a smell, or descriptively describing a scene or time they remember, to help the reader connect to their unique thought, message, or experience.
