Rhetorical strategy/ies with explanation/s
(R. Renehan 100)
“Perhaps most striking is the freely chosen death at an early age… where Achilles already knows his fate.”
I think that this relates to the rhetorical strategy Logos because it talks about how you know whats coming next and whats going to happen next.
I chose Logos for this passage because it fit best and I thought of this when I read the passage.
(R. Renehan 101)
“the first words that ever he speaks to his mother Thetis are… there is never any doubt as to which he shall choose.”
I think that this relates to the rhetorical strategy Pathos because it talks about feeling and emotion and the wording really plays a big part how you take it and react to it.
I chose Pathos because it fit best for the passage I chose. Also, because it reminded me of Pathos.
(R. Renehan 101)
“ Such a choice is in the heroic manner… is among the greatest things of all legendary literature.”
I think this relates to the rhetorical strategy Ethos because it talks about credibility and sources. Also, it talks about whether that person is trustworthy or not.
I chose Ethos because it best fit the passage I chose. Also, because Ethos matched what the passage was saying and talking about.
