RHETORICAL APPEALSWhat is logos?
*Logos (Greek for 'word') *the appeal to reason; supported by facts*refers to the internal consistency of the message--the clarity of the claim*the logic of its reasons*the effectiveness of its supporting evidence
The impact of logos on an audience is sometimes called the argument's logical appeal.
REVIEWPAGE 3
RHETORICAL APPEALSWhat is pathos?The appeal to the audience’s emotions*Pathos (Greek for 'suffering' or 'experience') *Appeal to the audience's sympathies*Pathos causes an audience not just to respond emotionally but to identify with the writer's point of view*To feel what the writer feels.
REVIEWPAGE 3
RHETORICAL APPLEALS
PATHOSPerhaps the most common way of conveying a pathetic appeal is through narrative or story, which can turn the abstractions of logic into something palpable and present. The values, beliefs, and understandings of the writer are implicit in the story and conveyed imaginatively to the reader. Pathos thus refers to both the emotional and the imaginative impact of the message on an audience, the power with which the writer's message moves the audience to decision or action.
RHETORICAL APPEALSWhat is ethos? Appeal to ethics or character*Greek for 'character' *Refers to the trustworthiness or credibility of the writer or speaker. *Ethos is often conveyed through tone and style of the message and through the way the writer or speaker refers to differing views. *It can also be affected by the writer's reputation as it exists independently from the message--his or her expertise in the field, his or her previous record or integrity*The argument's 'ethical appeal' or the 'appeal from credibility.'
