Persuasive Discussion - English 2019-2020

Pathos - Pathos derives from the Greek word pathea. It means to evoke a feeling already inside an audience or a reader. Usually, it elicits a feeling of sadness or pity. Speechwriters used this method to get people on their side. 

Ethos - Ethos is like pathos but it deals with persuading people with ethics. It is when you're persuading them by using ideas of how a person is like, their morals and personal behaviour. It basically appeals to what a person thinks is right or wrong.

Logos - Logos is like the other two but you are persuading people with logics. You used facts and logic to convince audiences or readers to get them on your side. Bloggers tend to use statistics to prove points that things are happening and a lot of stuff changes over the year.
