The major problem with using only logos to appeal to your audience is that you are not able to make an emotional connection with your audience, and most of the time people will feel as if the presenter is talking down to them.

From the story, "The Day the Tractor Came" I can assume that after this event the young child matured. They watched the tractor destroy their home and saw their strong father, that the family could always depend on, reduced to nothing. While looking at the space where the house once stood, they realized that this was where they were born, where they learned to walk, and it was the home their father had built. Going through something like that changes the whole family, because losing a home is traumatic. The child most likely matured and had to help the family a lot more. They probably needed to work at a younger age in order to earn money to buy another home (or buy the materials to build another house). They even mentioned that it was something

“Your assignment is to write a persuasive essay and present it to the class in a week. You will be graded based on how convincing it is. Today we will be choosing topics,” announced Mr. Bowerbank, my 7th grade English teacher and ruler of classroom 110. My class simultaneously groaned at the prospect of work. I simply lifted my head with intrigue as it was already May and about time we had our first essay.

I have always thought that he would make a marvelous supervillain if he had a curly mustache, a tophat, and a cape. Eventually my name was called. I slowly dragged myself over to his desk. Even sitting down, he still seemed to tower over me. “What is your topic Cindy?” As usual in such desperate times, my mind turned to food. “Waffles are better than pancakes.” I figured that a waffle was just a differently shaped pancake with a nicer texture. “Hmm. Excellent topic. I look forward to your essay!” I survived to live yet another day.
