Question

How does Douglass use the Rhetorical Appeals (Ethos, Pathos, Logos)? Look specifically in chapter 10.

Answer 1

Answer:

Pathos: emotional appeal

Logos: logical appeal

Ethos: Connection between pathos and logos to cause credibility.

Explanation:

In chapter 10 Douglas establishes a connection with the reader through the use of emotions implicit in the pathos appeal proposed by the philosopher Aristotle.

According to this literary style used by the author, it is possible to establish a connection that leads the reader to understand the process of transition between the slave man to the free man, this process takes place during a situation that uses the logos appeal in its logic for its development, and it is this connection that presents credibility between the writer and his audience, that is to say the Ethos.

His main idea was to persuade the audience of the atrocities of slavery and that it should be abolished, so through his language eloquently paints a scenario that connects the emotions of the reader taking it to the persuasion of his main idea.
