Pathos, Logos, and Ethos

 In English, we are learning about persuasive writing. As a part of that, we have to look up what pathos, logos, and ethos are. We have to give examples and definitions of each one. Here we go

Pathos - Is using emotions and Feelings to convince the reader/viewer/audience. A quick way to do this is to use, a cute animal, a sappy love story, a devastated family, a sad song, etc. 
An example of pathos is "If we don't do something about this issue now, we are all going to die!" 

Logos - Is using logic and reason to convince your audience. You can use statistics, graphs, charts, and or facts to do this
An example of Logos is "Over one hundred people have tried and tested this and over 80% of them agreed that this works.

Ethos - Is using ethics and ethical imperatives to help sway or convince your audience. This is done by making your audience believe that your way of thinking is the 'right' way to do things. 
An example of Ethos is "As a licensed builder I believe that if we do it this way, we will be done by Christmas."

We are doing this to become better writers and to write more convincing arguments. 

I currently don't have any questions about what we are doing, but I might add some later if I have one.
