Now I am more familiar with the terms ethos, pathos, and logos within writing. I believe the knowledge of all three terms help me to create more effective persuasive paper in the future. I’m going to write short examples of each of them; Ethos refers to one’s own character image or reputation in the eyes of an audience. Pathos refers to appeals to your audience’s emotions or sympathies. Logos I like the most in the context of
rhetoric, logos refers to an audience’s sense of logic, reason, and rationality. Base on those three terms I can consider myself as a person who love people, warmly interested in others extremely good at reading others, and understanding their point of view. I have respect and believe in the laws and rules of authority, and believe that others should do so as well. I enjoy tradition and security, and, I’ll seek stable lives that are rich in contact with friends and family. Overall through the my English classes I had don so far I gained a better knowledge and understanding for many literary analysis and concise writing.
