Read Heinrichs (as he paraphrases Cicero) on the three progressively more difficult tasks faced by an arguer as he or she attempts to persuade someone.

First, you must catch your audience's attention or stir up its emotions; then, you must work to change their mind about something; and finally, you must incite them to actually act.

Requirement:

Describe how you would apply these principles to accomplish the classic task of getting an unwilling kid to clean up his or her room. As you do this, remember Heinrichs' thoughts on "controlling the tense" and moving an argument into the most productive frame, as well as his (and Aristotle's) observation that "the most effective rhetoric disguises itself."
