WALTER (as he dances with RUTH): You know, when these New Negroes have their convention— (Pointing at his sister.)—that is going

to be the chairman of the Committee on Unending Agitation. (He goes on dancing, then stops.) Race, race, race! . . . Girl, I do believe you are the first person in the history of the entire human race to successfully brainwash yourself. (BENEATHA breaks up and he goes on dancing. He stops again, enjoying his tease.) D*mn, even the N double A C P takes a holiday sometimes! (BENEATHA and RUTH laugh. He dances with RUTH some more and starts to laugh and stops and pantomimes someone over an operating table.) I can just see that chick someday looking down at some poor cat on an operating table and before she starts to slice him, she says . . . (Pulling his sleeve back maliciously.) "By the way, what are your views on civil rights down there? . . .”
He laughs at her again and starts to dance happily. The bell sounds.

BENEATHA: Sticks and stones may break my bones but . . . words will never hurt me!

How does the playwright develop the theme in this passage?

-Beneatha's reaction to Walter's teasing shows that family members are often crueler to one another than strangers are.
-Beneatha's reaction to Walter's teasing shows that even family members who see the world differently can get along with one another.
-Walter’s teasing of Beneatha shows that every family deals with severe tensions.
-Walter’s teasing of Beneatha shows that one’s identity cannot be separated from race.

What are some textual evidence of Ethos, Pathos, Logos in "An Indian's Father's Plea" by Robert Lake?
xeze [42]
I'm not familiar with that text, but to help you out here are the definitions of Ethos, Pathos, and Logos.


Pathos is the emotional appeal to the reader. Many people get this confused with Ethos, a way I remember it is that Pathos sort of sounds like 'pathetic' which I somehow link to emotions, and can remember that Pathos means this. An example of Pathos would be describing a sick mother of a villain to earn the villain sympathy for the villain.

Ethos applies to ethics. Culture, religion, morals, ect. The author would use Ethos to show the reader culture, and to get them to sympathize or to plea with the character because of strong morals, religion, or culture.

Logos is logic. The author appeals through the reader using logical points, factual evidence, among other things.

So, after reading the text, what do you think the author uses to appeal to his readers? The title certainly appeals to Pathos, by using the word 'father' and 'plea' the author is directly channeling fear from the reader, and sympathy for them because the father is pleading for something. Because they used the word 'father' this may mean that he is pleading for his children, or maybe for his tribe. However, by using the word 'Indian' it also inflicts Ethos, because it directly links to culture and appeals to the reader because of this.
