What Is The Argument Of The Third Tuesday By Morris Carrie

1) Logos is argument by logic, ethos is argument by character, and pathos is argument by emotion

Logos appeals to reason. Logos can also be thought of as the text of the argument, as well as how well a writer has argued his or her point. Ethos appeals to the writer’s character and can also be thought of as the role of the writer in the

Passage 1 (ethos)- “Mr. Severe was rightly named: he was a cruel man. I have seen him whip a woman, causing the blood to run half an hour at the time; and this, too, in the midst of her crying children, pleading for their mother’s release. He seemed to take pleasure in manifesting his fiendish barbarity. Added to his cruelty, he was a profane swearer. It was enough to chill the blood and stiffen the hair of an ordinary man to hear him talk. Scarce a sentence escaped him but that was commenced or concluded by some horrid oath. The field was the place to witness his cruelty and profanity. His presence made it both the field of blood and of blasphemy. From the rising till the going down of the sun, he was cursing, raving, cutting, and slashing among the slaves of the field, in the most frightful manner. His career was short. He died very soon after I went to Colonel Lloyd’s; and he died as he lived, uttering, with his dying groans, bitter”

The most prevalent form of arguments that appears in Modern Romance is the use of logos, which helps offer trustworthy evidence to aid Ansari’s overall argument. The two fundamental arguments of logos are artistic proofs versus inartistic proofs. Conversely, Ansari weaves in countless examples of both forms in his book. Artistic proofs pertain to the “constructed argument having to do with appeals to reason and common sense; while

There is an absence of logos (logical appeal) in president washington’s speech. There is not a need for it in this speech though, due to the fact that this is his leaving office speech, so no logic is needed.

as the most effective form of persuasion. It is evident that logos best represents how an audience should be convinced, as seen in Amusing Ourselves to Death.

Not only is Ethos and Pathos used effectively in the speech, Logos is as well. Though the use of Logos is used much more indirectly than either of the latter, it is still an important component of the speech. Adm. Mcraven uses Logos by providing support for his statements and lessons taught throughout the speech. For example, Adm. Mcraven explained how one individual could ultimately change the lives of eight-hundred million people by only changing the lives of ten in their lifetime. He supports this claim with mathematical reasoning and evidence, “Ask.Com says that the average American will meet 10,000 people in their lifetime. That's a lot of folks. But, if every one of you changed the lives of just 10 people — and each one of those folks changed the lives of another 10 people — just 10 — then in five generations — 125 years — the class of 2014 will have changed the lives of 800 million people.”

Approximately half way through reading the article a red flag goes up. One of the major features of an argumentative article are the facts and citations. Other than citing the two pictures used in the article, only one statement can be traced to a credible source. Jones quotes Melanie Moore, a psychologist to provide a strong piece of evidence. Even though this is the only outside source used it is powerful given her background in psychology. Logos play a major roll in giving the article credibility. Whilst a reader is seeing a lack of evidence from outside sources to back up an argument, they assume it is just made up and not reliable. Granting Jones seems to use only one source for his article, that does not necessarily mean he does not state any evidence or logos.

Logos can be recognized in Steve Jobs’ Commencement Speech when he used logic to convince the audience. Logically speaking about death, Steve Jobs convinced the audience to spend their time wisely because they will not live forever. After speaking about when he was told he had an incurable form of cancer and then later found out it was actually a rare cancer that was curable, Jobs said, “Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.” Jobs had been in a place where he thought he was going to face death, and it gave him a greater understanding

In the novel, To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Atticus Finch includes many examples of ethos, pathos, and logos in his closing argument. It is most likely that the best device that would be used to sway the jury would be logos. Because the facts in the Ewell’s testimony do not add up in accordance to the testimony of Tom Robinson, using more reasonable evidence would be more persuading to the jury. Although logos is a very crucial part of this trial, the devices ethos and pathos are also important.

     Persuasion through lies is another way Gorgias says Logos can be used. He says that if everyone remembered everything in the past, knowledge of the present, and

Carmichael provides a perfect example of logos in his speech, “For example, I am black. I know that. I also know that while I am black I am a human being, and therefore I have the right to go into any public place. White people didn't know that. Every time I tried to go into a place they stopped me. So

Logos is defined as an appeal to logic. I feel like he uses this the most out of all of the other ones because this speech is meant to appeal to logic because it is reasons on why we need to end the war. The first time he uses logos is when he starts talking about why we are in need of peace. In the speech he says “We entered this war because violations of our right had occured…” (1). I feel like this is a logical explanation as to why people go to war and why this war had begun. Therefore, it appeals to your logic.

Then, I will discuss logos and how it is used in my speech. This speech is persuasive and logical because everyone goes through tough times especially his father. Rocky Jr. was given this speech because he was going through hard times at work and life in general. His mother died years back, he was struggling at work, and he was also facing hate from his father’s decisions. At this point, he felt hopeless. He was letting everything that was happening in the world bring him down and make him lose faith in himself. The speech was meant to lift his spirits and help him gain his faith and confidence back. Rocky hated seeing his son struggle in life, which no father likes seeing their child struggle.

Logos: It is an appeal to the mind with the use of logic, rationality and critical reasoning to persuade the audience. The author uses logos in his article to make a logical connection with the topic. For example, the author uses the explanation of ideas in the article and employs lots of diagrams in each parts of the topic to show the visualization to support his evidence which is very informative because the visuals give lots of information about what the article is about and that to get attention of the audience.
