Barry uses diction in order to say that scientific research is uncertain, but can sometimes be good. For example, he says, “If a researcher succeeds… the perfect tool will be available for purchase, just as laboratory mice can now be ordered from supply houses.” The use of simile suggests that scientific research can be rewarding when done correctly, as shown through the comparison of results to something as simple as buying supplies at a store. This tells the readers that uncertainty is not always a bad thing, and good things come to those who deal with it well. In addition, the author states, “If [scientists] are at least partly correct their probing acts like a crystal to precipitate an order out of chaos.” The use of imagery suggests that
Good Morning, After reading your thread I will have to say I agree with you on the standpoint that Mr. Hochswender does appeal to the target reader from an ethical (ethos), and an emotional (pathos) point of view. The author made a point regarding safety, for example "I would prefer my 9 year old and I not be inside a Corolla if some drunken driver veers across the center divider," (Hochswender, 2015). Mr. Hochswender also states that he does not drive so reckless that he would put himself in a situation to wreck (pg 155), which leads me to believe that driver responsibility plays an integral part in overall safety ratings of the vehicle. While I do agree that the article is persuasive and would appeal to most readers; I do not agree

Later on in this passage, Heinrichs suggests that ethos is greater than just a handy façade for an excellent rhetorician: people can use rhetorical strategies to assess different human beings’s core man or woman—now not just the
Nicholas Kristof wrote a compelling article titled “Our Gas Guzzlers, Their Lives”. In the article he is arguing that wealthier country’s greenhouse gas emissions are severely damaging life in many African countries. In fact Charles Ehrhart, a Care staff member in Kenya, states, “The negative impact of the West’s carbon emissions will overwhelm the positive effects of aid” (Kristof 580). So although we are trying to aid, it is our lifestyles that are damaging these peoples’ environment. Nicholas does a spectacular job presenting his case and giving evidence for his claims. Kristof produces an effective argument because of his stellar development of ethos, logos and pathos.

Swift is ironic because there is no way his expedients could succeed in a time that Ireland was in, he was mainly trying to highly the economic problems affecting the county at the time.
