The Declaration of Independence is one of the most important documents in the history of our nation. The declaration is responsible for the fact that we are able to determine our own laws and government in a sovereign way. Moreover, the declaration also outlined many of the values and principles by which our nation and our citizenship operates. One of the reasons why the Declaration of Independence is so significant is because of how persuasive it is. The Founding Fathers achieved this by using logos (a claim to logic), pathos (a claim to emotion) and ethos (a claim to credibility). These are some examples of the authors' use of rhetorical devices:

Logos

<em>"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."</em>

Pathos

<em>"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."</em>

Ethos

<em>"And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."</em>

Answer:

Explanation:

Aristotle's "modes for persuasion" - otherwise known as rhetorical appeals - are known by the names of ethos, pathos, and logos. They are means of persuading others to believe a particular point of view. They are often used in speech writing and advertising to sway the audience.

Meaning of Ethos, Logos, and Pathos

Aristotle used these three terms to explain how rhetoric works:

"Of the modes of persuasion furnished by the spoken word there are three kinds. The first kind depends on the personal character of the speaker [ethos]; the second on putting the audience into a certain frame of mind [pathos]; the third on the proof, or apparent proof, provided by the words of the speech itself [logos]. Persuasion is achieved by the speaker's personal character when the speech is so spoken as to make us think him credible."

Ethos (sometimes called an appeal to ethics), then, is used as a means of convincing an audience via the authority or credibility of the persuader, be it a notable or experienced figure in the field or even a popular celebrity.

Pathos (appeal to emotion) is a way of convincing an audience of an argument by creating an emotional response to an impassioned plea or a convincing story.

Logos (appeal to logic) is a way of persuading an audience with reason, using facts and figures.

Please Help!! I'm not creative AT ALL!!
salantis [7]

A long time ago in an old dry land there were 30 people living in one town and they needed rain so bad the grass was brown there crops were dead and they were about to burn up.  

One day they all got down on their knees and they prayed to the GOD of weather. And the god of weather took it the wrong way and he punished them all. He gave them their but just a little too much rain. The sky was lighting up and the ground was shaking and they got really scared. They went into there houses and they got down again and prayed again and said " please make it stop raining we have had enough rain".  

But the God was still mad at them and he made it rain harder and harder. One day they all died off because they drowned because of all the rain.And the God thought it was funny later on that day it stopped raining and about 20 minutes later a little girl came out and the God saw her and he took her up and raised her to later become the Godess of weather.

And at the time the little girl didn't know that he killed all those people including her mom and dad. Later on she found out about what he did and so she came up with a plan, and she sent him down to the village and he went and she trapped him down there and she made it rain and rain and rain and rain, and finally he died just like all of her family and friends.  

And then later on some other villagers moved into the old village and she answer her prayers and she let it rain but not too much rain.
