Explanation:
John Barry, in his writing, tried to communicate to his readers, the fascination he had with Mississippi Rivers. He looked at the rivers in general in the first paragraph, and he clearly stated that rivers are so complex and mindboggling. In the second paragraph, he uses internal dynamics and some of the key factors that account for the complexities of rivers and make them worthy of admiration
By the middle of the passage, he tried to say that Mississippi river was alive and could not be controlled and dictated its own path.
by the last paragraph, Barry was of the view that the Mississippi river ran back and forth, curving like an “S”.
Even though his writing style was not uniform, he tried to let his readers know the great power of the Mississippi.
In "Resistance to Civil Government," Henry David Thoreau uses ethos in order to help his audience gain trust in him. Thoreau uses his own personal experience in order to demonstrate his knowledge of his topic and his own personal connection to it. By using ethos in this rhetorical situation, Thoreau is attempting to inspire trust in his readers and establish his own credibility.
