Answer:
One morning, three friends went for a drive. They came across a forest and decided to go inside it. They got out of their car and began walking. Unfortunately, they got lost without a clue of how to get back, and to top it off it began raining. They saw in the distance a hut, so they hurried on over to it.
After knocking on the door, an old man answered. They explained their situation to him. He was kind enough to let them wait inside until the rain stopped and then he escorted them out of the forest, back to their car. They called their other friends and told them about how they got lost, met an old man, and were driving back. They then safely went back to their homes.
In the excerpt shown above, we can see that the author made extensive use of the rhetorical device called logos. The logos is a rhetorical device used by the authors to invoke a speech based on logic.
We can see the use of logos in the above excerpt, because the author shows that it is more logical that debtors are loose and not locked in chains. This is because when debtors are arrested, they are unable to work for the country, generate wealth and, consequently, generate power for the nation. In other words, debtors have the potential to be useful to the country, but when they are imprisoned, that potential is totally wasted and ends up weakening the nation.
Therefore, governments must establish policies that prevent debtors, who offer no danger to society, from being punished for their debts in a useful way for the country, through work and income generation.
