Question

3. What rhetorical strategy does Mack employ in lines 16-20? (RI.2.6)

Answer 1

Hello. You have not submitted the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

Rhetorical strategies are methods of communication used to convince and influence a certain audience to act the way a narrator or speaker wishes. These strategies are called ethos, logos and pathos and each one influences the audience differently.

The ethos influences the public to present ethical and correct concepts, which address moral and positive behaviors. The logos influence the public through logical concepts, which can be easily observed as correct. Pathos, in turn, presents emotional concepts and seeks to influence the public through sentimentality.

In this case, to answer your question, you must read the text to which the question refers and identify whether Mack's speeches have logical, ethical or sentimental arguments.
