Rhetorical appeals are made to help your argument goals by helping your persuade your audience of your ideas. Ethos is to help support your argument by using credibility. In essence we typically believe the people around us that we respect. This appeal helps identify you as a person that the audience should listen to because you know lot about the topic or you have authority (Durham). Ethos can be related to the word ethics or moral principles of the writer or speaker (Writing Commons). One example of this would be, if a Basketball player is giving a speech the audience will think his Ethos is strong because he has a lot of experience (Williams). Another example of this would be the time when my father was in the marine corp. My family had to attend a rank ceremony.

This is an example of Ethos because the crowd found the Sergeant a highly respectable and creditable person that they need to listen too....

...Running head: Logos, Pathos, and Ethos Logos, Pathos, and Ethos—Can’t Have One without the Other Jasmine Bradley Marinus Iwuchukwu ENG/215 08/31/2014 Logos, ethos, and pathos are all important factors to include when writing a paper. They ensure that your paper is well rounded. Alex Keyssar, a professor of History and Social Policy at Harvard University, incorporates all of these in his writing style. “Reminders of Poverty, Soon Forgotten” is an article written by Keyssar that focuses on poverty in America since the late 19th century to today. The main issue with poverty Keyssar points out is how our Nation has had countless reminders of the millions of people that live in bad conditions, yet nothing has been done to help them because they are forgotten quickly (pretty much self-explanatory after reading the title). This essay will be going over what he uses as logos, pathos, and ethos; and how they support each other. Ethos Ethos has been defined as authority. An author can establish ethos via tone or research. When looking for ethos in a piece of writing, look for what gives the author the authority to give you this information. Establish the author’s credibility. In his article, Keyssar establishes credibility through his experience and research. Being a professor in History and Social Policy means he is well studied in those areas, both of which are applied in the article.

...When effectively trying to persuade an audience, the rhetorical appeals: ethos, pathos, and logos can support the message and ensure that one is depicting it correctly. When giving a speech, the speaker needs to be able to connect with their audience and not distract them from the message that is being given. A speech that uses many examples of ethos, pathos and logos is “The Great Arsenal of Democracy,” by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Roosevelt’s use of pathos and logos effectively portrays his message of American defense, patriotism and the power of industry throughout this speech. Throughout the fireside chat, Roosevelt pulls on the American citizens heartstrings when he plays off their pride, and fear of what could happen. He also uses logos when explaining the background and facts of why the United States should assist the British. In...

...a response to white clergy who were critical of his intention in Birmingham naming him an “outsider”. King’s response to critics through a letter explains his arguments vividly and effectively. King wrote the letter in a way that he agreed with his critics, nonetheless still using their words against them in logic harmony. King’s letter illustrates the three artistic proofs used to convince an audience. This paper will discuss the ethos, pathos, and logos modes of persuasion as well as writing structure as seen in King’s “The letter from Birmingham jail”. King’s letter demonstrates his clear logic, empathetic prose, sense of self, as maintained by high moral ground. His letter evokes ethical appeal for two main reasons; the language used is ethical and suits the topic, and the words come from a credible source. King is to be forgiven for saying, “Right defeated is stronger than evil triumphant” because this word may seem provocative (Jnr, 2012). However, these words are persuasive and used in the right context. According to Aristotle, ethos is developed when one chooses to use language that is suitable for the audience, and when the same words makes the person sound fair or unbiased (Aristotle, 2012). He uses historical facts to justify the reason why injustice prevails, and not his own opinion. He says, “Lamentably, it is an historical fact that the privileged groups seldom give their privileges voluntarily” (Jnr, 2012). Additionally, King uses logic views not to negate...

...Britt and Barry focus on guiding their audiences into understanding that being messy or neat should not take over their lives and individuals should focus more on family or friends so they do not miss out on making memories. Both authors use ethos in their articles because they each have a story within their reading selections that helps their readers better understand the lesson they are trying to teach others because they have personally lived through the situations. Britt’s particular story started out with her saying the reason she is sloppy is because “as always, it’s moral” (Britt 214). She comes off to her readers as a sloppy individual because she puts down neat people more than her own kind.
