Explain ethos pathos and logos

English
1 answer:
Marrrta [24]2 years ago
7 0
Ethos or the ethical appeal, means to convince an audience of the author’s credibility or character.
An author would use ethos to show to his audience that he is a credible source and is worth listening to. Ethos is the Greek word for “character.” The word “ethic” is derived from ethos.


Pathos or the emotional appeal, means to persuade an audience by appealing to their emotions.
Authors use pathos to invoke sympathy from an audience; to make the audience feel what what the author wants them to feel. A common use of pathos would be to draw pity from an audience.


Logos or the appeal to logic, means to convince an audience by use of logic or reason.
To use logos would be to cite facts and statistics, historical and literal analogies, and citing certain authorities on a subject. Logos is the Greek word for “word,” however the true definition goes beyond that, and can be most closely described as “the word or that by which the inward thought is expressed" and, "the inward thought itself" (1). The word “logic” is derived from logos.

pogonyaev
<span>The correct asnwer is B, helplessness.

The repetition of the phrase "still is sitting" shows that the speaker is helpless to get the Raven to leave. Just as the speaker cannot make the Raven leave him, he is also unable to get over his grief at losing his true love. He will forever be grieving, and the Raven will forever sit above his chamber door.

Therefore, the mood created in this scene is one of helplessness. </span>

Oliga [24]

Answer:

One way that effectively helps is to recreate some conditions. For example, use the same pen, or chew the same flavor of gum. This will help you recall more information  because it brings you back to the memory when you were studying the answers.

Explanation:

You could have had trouble answering these questions because of an encoding or retreival failure (failure to remember because there weren't enough cues to trigger your memory). You may have had an encoding failure because while you were distracted while you were studying. (Dividing your attention and trying to multi-task is the most common cause of encoding failure).
