Ethos‚ Pathos‚ and Logos are modes of persuasion often used to convince audiences. Ethos pertains to the speaker’s expertise‚ credibility‚ and honesty. Pathos relates to the speaker’s feelings and emotions‚ while logos is an appeal to reason and logic.

One of the dreams of my life has been to see Egypt‚ the land of romance and mystery‚ and of the most ancient civilizations in the world. Geographically‚ the country of Egypt is remarkable‚ as being the creation of a single river. It is a long and comparatively narrow valley‚ shut in on both sides by low barren cliffs‚ beyond which is the hot sandy desert. And this valley would itself be an inhabitable desert‚ but for the River Nile which‚ rising in the Abyssinian mountains in the south‚ runs through

One could say that Dent’s reasoning for taking a life‚ criminal or not‚ is based on logos‚ more so logical fallacy. Now‚ there are those instances where Dent shows genuine care for the lives of those in Gotham. He sternly pushes Batman to reveal his identity by presenting a plea of ethics; the longer the masked bat is masked‚ the more innocent

to produce this tone by employing primarily pathos (emotion) and secondly and very limited‚ logic. Though an ethos style would be of great use to persuade her target audience and move the reader to her point of view‚ the Undocumented‚ Indispensable essay lacked this style‚ unfortunately. Instead‚ Quindlen’s focus on emotion/pathos leaves the reader feeling defensive and less sadness or pity which would be more of the goal with the well-done use of pathos.

When Julius Caesar dies‚ Antony wants to go to the marketplace and give a speech at his funeral(Holt). Brutus is alright with it‚ but Brutus wants to go first in front of Antony’s speech. They both are great speeches and both use either logos‚ ethos and pathos very well. When we compare and contrast the two speeches we see who went wrong or what went wrong and will also see who used logos‚ ethos or pathos the best. When Brutus thought of his speech he overestimated his audience(enotes).
