Post #6: Proofs

Proofs are important in the sense of rhetoric because they appeal to the audience's emotion. While rhetoric may rely on logic to back up it's arguments, it is key to engage the audience and persuade them. This is done by appealing to their emotions. One of the classical rhetoricians who understood this claim was Aristotle. He stated that by understanding these emotions, one can then engage then use them in their arguments, making a real impression.
