Read the background information below and watch the videos. You're welcome to look at the PDF links, too (these are optional). Write an original example of each of the three appeals to reason. To complete this correctly, you will need to do all of the following: Share the appeal itself (e.g. What did you do to persuade someone? What story or explanation did you give?) Identify that appeal (e.g. Was it logos? Was it pathos? Was it ethos?) Explain why it was that particular appeal? (For instance, if you shared a story and identified it as pathos, then explain why it was pathos.) See my examples below. If you can't think of your own appeal for this assignment, you may find an example online but please include the URL/web address for where you got your appeal.

Paper For Above instruction

The assignment requires creating three original examples demonstrating each of the three rhetorical appeals—logos, pathos, and ethos—along with analysis and identification of each appeal. This task involves constructing scenarios or explanations that effectively persuade or influence a listener or reader through logical reasoning, emotional connection, or credibility. The purpose is to understand and illustrate how different appeals function in persuasive communication. The examples must be personal or creative unless an online source is used, in which case proper attribution, such as the URL, must be provided.

To fulfill this assignment, begin by devising a scenario where you persuade someone about a particular issue. For example, you might tell a story that appeals to their emotions (pathos) by sharing a heartfelt personal experience, argue with logical facts and figures (logos), or establish your credibility (ethos) by citing your expertise or experience. Clearly state what the appeal is, quote or describe the specific reasoning, story, or explanation used, and then justify why it qualifies as that specific appeal.

This exercise enhances understanding of persuasive strategies and helps you recognize how different appeals influence people’s opinions and decisions. Creativity is encouraged in forming your examples, but accuracy in identifying the rhetorical appeal and explaining its use is essential. If you draw from an online source, include its web address for transparency. Finally, organize your submission in a clear, concise manner with proper explanation and analysis, demonstrating your grasp of rhetorical appeals.
