Aristotle's 3 modes of persuasion: Pathos, Logos, Ethos

  1. Define the following in a new blog post: Aristotle's 3 modes of persuasion: Pathos, Logos, Ethos

    -  Pathos is a style of persuasion that evokes feelings to in-power the audience of the speaker.

    -  Subjective  
    -  
    Experience that may happen from the result of doing something  
    -  sense of lose of logic, it can be used to much and emotions run wild
      

  2. -   Logos is a style of persuasion that gives the impression of intelligence in the speaker, and gives the impression of preparation for the speakers speech
    -  Logic    
    -  
    factual information      
    -   academic
     situations, political, business        
    -  
    Objective - absence of emotion



    -   Ethos is a Style of persuasion that can be seen as an appeal to honesty from the speaker to their audience. It is how well the speaker convinces their audience that they are qualified to speak on this specific topic. 

    -  Speaker - Credibility - the speakers own experiance
        

  3. Choose a speech and try to figure out which of the three is the predominant type of persuasion. Do this by first describing what the speaker is trying to persuade of their audience.

    -   I believe that the speech "Any Given Sunday" uses 'pathos' to evoke emotion and encourage the audience to succeed.
