These two things are related through the fact that listening is the receiving of rhetoric in Layman's terms. Sam Vinesett
Rhetoric is a method that can be used to alter the way an audience thinks about a certain subject. There are several different rhetorical devices (logos, pathos, ethos) that can be used to accomplish this.
Listening is attempting to understand something that another person is telling you. Listening often includes not only understanding what is being said, but also why it is being said.

Q: What is rhetoric? A: Effective or persuasive speaking or writing. Rhetoric is used in order to convince someone of your own view point. When someone is making an argument they will use key words in order to push their beliefs in a way to make them sound like they know all and that there is no questioning their side to an argument. Q: What is listening? A: Google states that listening is "giving ones attention to sound". This provided definition is very broad. It is broad because the sound one is listening to can be very different in the environment. They could be listening to thunder to find out how far away the storm is or in an English class use they could be listening to a debate to find out which side has persuaded them the most to side with their argument.

I do not really know what rhetoric is but my best guess would be that it is the way that you are telling or arguing something to help persuade the reader that it is true. Having good rhetoric probably makes your argument sound more appealing even if it is not normally that convincing. Listening is how people understand what you are telling them. Assuming my definition of rhetoric is correct, rhetoric and listening are related because using rhetoric to convince people of what you are telling them would make the reader want to listen to you more. Rhetoric makes and argument more appealing to a listener.
Rhetoric is persuasive writing or communicating. It consists of making arguments supported by information. The purpose of rhetoric is to persuade someone of a certain belief. Listening is the act of hearing what someone is saying. It involves being present in a conversation.

Rhetoric is a form of communication in which a speaker aims to improve his/her ability to inform or persuade an audience. This is accomplished through rhetorical devices.

Rhetoric is targeted at a listening audience and the audience must listen to and think about the information they're given.
Rhetoric is, from what I learned in high school, a way of arguing or convincing some one. The three main forms of rhetoric we learned about in high school were ethos, pathos, and logos. All of these appeal in to people in different ways. Pathos plays into people's emotions. A good example of this is those commercials that play sad music and show pictures of sad-looking dogs and cats. These commercials use pathos by trying to make you feel sorry for these animals, and thus donate to help save them. Logos appeals to people through logic or facts. The best example of this is phone commercials that tell you all about how their network is x% faster than their opponent's or coverages x% more of the country. They try to appeal to you by giving you concrete facts that'll make you want their product. Finally ethos appeals to you by showing other people that are well known/famous, and how they like a certain product. The best examples are products that get celebrities to endorse them. The idea is that if a famous person likes a product then normal people will fee that products is legit, and they'll choose that one.
Listening is the act of thoughtfully considering what noises are going happening around you. The difference between listening and hearing is that when you listen you take time and energy to consider what is being said. If you sit and class and play your phone, you'll hear what your teacher is saying, but your not listening. When you listen to some one you remember and consider what they're saying.
Rhetoric and listening relate because without listening rhetoric because useless. There's no point in using rhetoric if they're not going to listen. Rhetoric relies on the fact that some one with thoughtful consider the words you're saying or using. If some one is only hearing you, and not taking the time to consider what you're saying, then rhetoric becomes useless, because it is not being heard thoughtfully.

It is to be respectful and open of other opinions. - Kevin Stine

Listening is the act of hearing what someone has to say and being able to understand the topic an what is being discussed.

Rhetoric is used by an author trying to convey a message. They utilize devices to provoke a certain feeling to the audience. Listening is the audience's way of receiving the author's message. A good listener fully understands what the author is telling him and is able to reexplain it. They are related because without an audience who listens, the author's message will not be understand. And vice versa, if the audience has nobody to listen to then they cannot listen.

Rhetoric is the way we persuade others through speech and writing. A person with good rhetoric is aware of who he/she is speaking to and tailors his/her speech in a way that will be best received by the audience, all while effectively conveying a message. Listening is the way we take in and process what the speaker has to say. A good and effective listener first takes into consideration what the speaker has to say before letting his/her own opinions influence his/her own perception of the speech. A good listener is also respectful of the speaker. Rhetoric and listening come hand in hand. To communicate successfully, both the speaker and listener must work together.
Rhetoric is the action of trying to persuade someone into seeing a situation from your perspective. This is often done through the use of metaphor or other figures of speech. Listening is when one is given information from a source. Though mistaken as a synonym for hearing, a key difference is that in the act of listening the one receiving information truly thinks on what they have been told and allows themself to see it from the perspective of the source, regardless of if this actually changes their own views. What the two have in common is that they are both neccessary in order for one to be able to see something from another perspective. Rhetoric is needed to present the new way of thinking in a way the one receiving the information can understand while the latter needs to listen in order to see it from the given perspective.
