#1) what are ethos,Logos, and pathos?

RHETORIC AND ARGUMENTATION BASICS

      knowing the basic argumentation is the most important thing before you write an argumentative essay. Have you ever heard about the -os family? if you have not yet, I will teach you what they are and how they are used in the argumentative essay. the members of the -os family are ETHOS, PATHOS, AND LOGOS.

1)ETHOS-first of all, let me introduce to you who ethos is. ethos is the smart one. ethos is the quality of character, intelligence, and goodwill in an arguer that contribute to an audience's acceptance of the claim. by using ethos, your argument will be stronger and effective because of the well- organized and the language is much more concrete.  

here is the example of ethos!

this was my homework that i did, where i had to write about in what ways Henry and Buckley utilized Ethos.

2) Pathos-now we are on to paths! so who is pathos? pathos is really emotional and sentimental guy. pathos is the quality in a work that prompts the readers to feel PITY. If you want to make your audience to accept your argument, evoke their pity!  Have you ever heard "They need a shelter, place to stay, loving family and true love?"pathos are seen by many of the animal shelter commercial. They evoke people's pity by emotional effects to make your eyes wet. 

This is my example of how+when+why use pathos.

This video is another example of pathos. This video will simply make your eyes cry and evoke pity.(I guarantee) 

3)Logos-Finally, we are on to Logos! Who is logos? logos is the guy who never talk nonsense. Logos is the quality in a work that is based on reason and evidence. I have noticed from myself, and my friends who takes AP Lang, that able to tell the difference between logos and ethos are confusing. However, all you have to remember is that logos goes by logic and true evidence, while ethos shows the intelligent of the writer in order to gain the acceptance from the audience.

here is the link to the examples of logos
