Chapter 25 began by talking about Cicero's five canons of persuasion. The five canons of persuasion are invention, arrangement, style, memory, and delivery. They are in that order because that's the order they should be in while making a speech. Then the author got into talking about what he does in order to prepare for a speech. The chapter then got into talking about following a classic outline. The classic outline contains the introduction, narration, division, proof, refutation, and conclusion. Chapter 25 ended by talking about Everett using 5 canons for his speech/presentations.
