garri49 [273]

Answer:

Look down belowwwww!

Explanation:

Ethos:

Ethos is when an argument is constructed based on the ethics or credibility of the person making the argument. Ethos is in contrast to pathos (appealing to emotions) and logos (appealing to logic or reason).

Examples of Ethos:

A commercial about a specific brand of toothpaste says that 4 out of 5 dentists use it.

Pathos:

Advertisers use the emotions of fear, disgust, and hope to trigger reactions in the audience.

Consider these examples of pathos:

It's also very easy to see examples of pathos in famous political speeches.

If we don't move soon, we're all going to die!
"I'm not just invested in this community - I love every building, every business, every hard-working member of this town."

Logos:

Logos is the persuasive technique that aims to convince an audience by using logic and reason. Also called “the logical appeal,” logos examples in advertisement include the citation of statistics, facts, data, charts, and graphs.

Hope this helped!

What does Laura’s attempt at trying to use an English idiom reveal about her character?

solong [7]

Laura's attempt at trying to use an English idiom reveals that she is eager to try English phrases and expressions.
She says "There's no use trying to drink spilt milk," and even though her use of the idiom is incorrect (it should be - there's no use crying over spilt milk), she still really wants to try and better her English speaking skills, which is always quite commendable.

Consider Tim O’Brien’s story "Ambush." What differences do you see between how O’Brien dealt with killing an enemy soldier in th

Firlakuza [10]

<span> "Ambush," O’Brien describes killing a man while serving in war. He had no intention of killing him—he reacted without thinking. O’Brien feels guilty about having killed another human being, even though his fellow soldier tries to soothe him with the logic that the man would have been killed eventually anyway. However, trying to justify having killed someone, O’Brien explains that his training as a soldier prompted him to act involuntarily when he lobbed the grenade upon spotting an enemy soldier. Twenty years later, long after the war has ended, O’Brien is unable to admit to his daughter, Kathleen, that he has killed another person. He feels guilt and denial about having killed a man, and experiences recurrent flashbacks and visions. Through his story, O’Brien conveys that a soldier is a changed person after he has witnessed such a war, and those who have not been in a war cannot begin to understand the emotional turmoil that soldiers go through.</span>
