When we read a particular piece of literature the author has a main point that she wishes to be heard and understood. In order to do this effectively, many writers use Aristotle’s Rhetorical Triangle. The interplay of presenting facts, soliciting emotional responses, and creating a tone of credibility is important in order to persuade the reader of the writer’s point of view. The use of logos cites facts, statistic, and evidence to substantiate the claims made and to validate the argument. Pathos is used to bring emotion to the work so the reader can connect on a psychological level. This is accomplished using certain words, quotes, interviews, or images. Words can elicit feelings of sympathy, pity, anger, or can motivate entire crowds of people to action. Last, but certainly as important as the two preceding concepts, is ethos. This allows the author to set a persuasive tone in the work that makes the piece a believable and trustworthy source of information. It…

By persuading the audience by emotion Markel is able to give his text an emotional appeal. This causes the audience not only to respond emotionally but, to identify with the writers point of view. Emotional appeals also have descriptive language which helps the audience relate to the argument or discussion. In the text Markel used descriptive and figurative language to show how Ellen looked, “Henry Bergh, who saw the girl—like a member of the animal kingdom needing the protection of state”, this example gives emotion but by the use of words. Her story puts a personal touch and brings a vivid example of what happened before and what is still happening today. Some audiences may not like this approach for some just don’t want to hear the truth; so in this case it may not be so effective. Through most of the composition Markel let Ellen’s story speak for itself and let her story influence the…

In the short-story Wanted: A Town Without a Crazy, a very odd yet humorous view of Turkish culture is expressed. I believe that Hilmi, the “Crazy” of his town, is in fact not crazy but extremely intelligent and cunning. Him convincing an entire town that he is completely disconnected from their world and lives in his own, proves this even further. Hilmi conned them in such a way that the townspeople themselves did not even know it.…

Pathos- this is effectively used frequently through out the text so that the speaker gets the audience to be emotional. An example of this is when he says “ to be abandoned by god is worse than to be punished by him” (444). By saying this, the speaker get the audience to empathize with the victim, put themselves in the victims shoes, which gets the emotions and feeling across to all the members of the audience and get then engaged. He uses human emotion as a way to speak out against the holocaust and then speaks of the horrors of it to trigger emotion from the audience “Over there, behind the black gates of Auschwitz, the most tragic of all prisoners were the “Muselmanner” as they called. Wrapped in their torn blankets, they would sit or lie on the ground, staring vacantly into space, unaware of who or where they were—strangers to their surroundings...” (444). This creates a feeling of horror and helps the…

Pathos is an appeal to the emotions and the sympathetic imagination, as well as to beliefs and values. This method plays a critical role in his letter because, throughout the full writing, he used this appeal to reach out to his readers on a personal level. One example of this method is when he said, "...when you suddenly find your tongue twisted and your speech stammering as you seek to explain to your six-year-old daughter why she can't go to the public amusement park that has just been advertised on television, and see tears welling up in her eyes when she is told that Funtown is closed to colored children." (King, 3) To see how this would engage readers emotionally, all you have to do is put yourself in that situation. Any person would be disturbed by the thought of having to explain to your innocent little girl that she cannot go because the park does not allow colored children. The essence of every child is in their innocence and to see that stripped away at such an early age by the harsh reality of racial inequality would bring tears to any human's eyes.…
