Pathos is the use of emotional events or stories, which I use many times during all my segments to make sure that the reader is always emotionally attached to the

The persuasive piece was written on the Clint Eastwood film Sully. The objective of this piece was to persuade a friend to watch the film after reading the piece. To write this piece I had to use different persuasive techniques to convey the message. When writing I tried to ensure the theme was consistent throughout the piece. I could have chosen to write more about a particular part of the movie but felt it would be unnecessary and would downgrade the overall piece. The piece needed to both tell the reader what the film was but also why they should watch

How to Speak How to Listen by Mortimer Adler discusses the best techniques to use while in an argument. According to Adler, ethos signifies one’s character. Ethos is present when one is trying to have a character that is fitting for the purpose at hand. Ethos includes making yourself attractive to the audience and proving to them that you are credible. An example of having ethos has a lot to do with how I would present myself to the audience. In order for them to believe that I am credible, I must look the part, that includes cleanliness, looking put together, and healthy. If the audience sees that you can take care of yourself, then they have a higher chance of believing that you can take care of them and their situation. Using ethos can also include presenting the audience with a personal story. This will fill them in with background information about myself and let them know how my character played out during whatever situation I spoke about. The situation would have to be similar to the one the audience is facing, in order for them to draw parallels and better understand how I would handle that particular event.
