Chapter 5 Summary
So in this chapter the whole entire focus was on decorum and how making your audience like you give you a better chance on persuading them. So the chapter starts in a small talk on how decorum doesn't work every where you go. For instance, something you do at school may not be okay at another school. Decorum basically teaches you how to fit in with the people around you and to get them to be comfortable around you and like you. And after you get some one to like you, persuasion gets even easier from there. Later on into the chapter it says that fashion choices also has a play in decorum. Fashion plays a role in this because you have to dress the part your audience expect. Like say you got a clown for a party. Your gonna expect the clown to wear some silly clothes not a suit and brief case. Same thing goes for a nurse or doctor. They're not gonna show up to there patients with swim trunks and flip flops. Now lets talk about decorum that will work for others but not you. Okay so lets say you out with your friends or something like that and one of your friends caught the attention of someone you wouldn't normally do. Then later that week you try the same thing and you get an entirely different outcome you'd expected. That goes to show that some decorum that works for others may not be in your favor. So to conclude all this decorum is to true with your audience and do what they will expect you to do. None of your options and thoughts matter in a persuading situation
