<p>I don’t think rhetoric is hard at all. In fact, the only reason I applied to Berkeley was because Daniel Coffeen was teaching the intro to rhetoric at the time, now of course, there are other reasons and Coffeen, unfortunately, is not teaching there anymore. In any case I’m going to minor in rhetoric for sure. I don’t understand how you can think there are a lack of resources for rhetoric? Simply read Plato’s Socratic dialogs, Aristotle’s work, Neitzsche’s early works, any classical take on morality and ethics, politics, philosophy, literature…etc. It’s untrue, whoever said there are no sources for rhetoric, in fact, rhetoric is everywhere, rhetoric is what I’m doing now, rhetoric is what you do everyday. It is the “art of oratory,” or the art of speech. lol What more do you need?</p>
