Question

Choose examples from the text for Ethos, Logos, & Pathos. Explain why you choose them and what they mean.

Answer 1

Answer:

I chose God as an example of Ethos. He is mentioned several times, and usually when someone involves God in their ted talk, people that believe in Him will likely be more persuaded, since they look up to Him -- he is an authority in Christianity. Secondly, for my Logos, or logic part, I chose an overall idea, since there were no specific quotes. The idea of women's rights is a big topic in this speech. The speaker says, "And ain't I a women?" several times. Women being secondary is a real-life problem, and has been persistently for as long as anyone can remember. This speaker seems to be talking about racism to black women specifically. Finally, for Pathos, I chose "I have borne thirteen children and seen most all sold to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother's grief, none but Jesus heard me!" This sentence provokes sad and negative feelings. Thinking about a mother watching her children be taken away from her for to be sold for slavery is just depressing. When she sought reassurance, the only person there for her was Jesus.
