Answer:
Logos, or logistics.
Explanation:
When attempting to persuade your teacher to allow you to type your essay, you are most likely using logistics. For example, you may assert that typing is faster, easier, and more efficient; therefore logically, allowing you to type your essay is the more logical thing to do.
A question that you could ask the author or a character is:
Author: How did you feel when you were writing this story? How did you get the idea of the plot and characters?
Character: When you were in the story, how did you feel about what you went through?
These are just my ideas :)
