n, always the biggest victims of poverty, was the hardest part of Mr. Edden's experience. He believes he will never forget their eyes as they silently begged for help, too hungry to move, much less run around and play like children should. Which two forms of rhetoric are used in the example?
A. Ethos and pathos
B. Pathos and logos
C. Ethos and cosmos
D. Ethos and logos
Among the different modes used to persuade an audience, in this example we can clearly identify the exercise of <em>"Ethos and Pathos"</em> as form of rhetoric.
The mode <em>"Ethos"</em> is used to build an argument on <em>ethics</em> or the credibility of someone, explicit on <em>"As a volunteer for the Peace Corps, Samuel Eddens saw..."</em>
and the mode <em>"Pathos"</em>, a word from Greek origins which means <em>"suffering"</em> and root of words like<em>"Empathy"</em>, is used to build arguments relaying on strong emotions such as compassion, explicit on <em>"...their eyes as they silently begged for help". </em>Thereby the answer is (A.)
The ways that you can help the students learn more about South Africa include:
Give them an assignment to research on the culture and ethnic groups in South Africa
Students will give a presentation about what they learned about South Africa.
It should be noted that by giving the students assignment on the ethnic groups, they will be able to learn about groups such as Zulu, Xhosa group, etc.
The presentation will also enable other students to learn more about South Africa.
