Pros And Cons Of Abduction

The author used different elements of ethos, logos, pathos, and kairos to effectively communicate with the reader. Eve Tushnet the author of this essay does not have a whole lot of ethos. Eve is lacking credibility and character because she is not an established author. Eve is not a credible author because she is a freelance writer. Eve does not have good credibility because she blogs and contributes to an opinion magazine and website.

Year after year, America has been singled out for its deteriorating educational system. Fridman suggests in his passage that this is due to the attitude of anti-intellectualism plaguing American society. Fridman decides to use ethos and logos as his rhetorical strategies in his essay. Ethos convinces someone of the character or credibility of the persuader. Logos appeals to an audience by using logic and reason.

Ethos are one of three rhetorical devices used in all forms of writing, that of which Marjie Lundstrom provides the strongest use of ethos in her article “Kids Are Kids- Until They Commit Crimes” in order to defend her argument of how all minors, even those who have committed atrocious crimes, shall be tried through the juvenile court system. One technique Lundstrom uses is the use of a logo stated by a credible source, “ The nation’s juvenile arrest rate for murder fell 68 percent from 1993 to 1999, hitting its lowest level since 1966, according to the Justice Department.” By providing this statement in her article, Lundstrom is able to defend her claim that minors should not be tried in court as adults. Minors’ crime rates are dropping which can conclude that they are becoming aware and learning right from wrong, making the audience feel sorry for the minors being tried as adults. “A week from now, a judge in Florida will decide how old Lionel Tate really is.”

Through pathos, the reader feels as if they are responsible and must help. Imagery was regularly used throughout the book to describe what it was like to see how others lived. Imagery was also used to arouse emotion in the reader. The author vividly described scenes like the wars and villages he saw. This helped the reader get a better understanding of what those countries are like and how their citizens live.

Emotional and physical abuse were the two main types of abuse mentioned throughout the novel. Through extreme amounts of brutality and torture to emotional devastation and agony, “Indian Horse” certainly shows readers that living through abuse can have life long consequences. Readers can imply that being repeatedly beaten and tortured at a very young age makes the child live in fear and agony. Also, certain incidents such as being taken away from your parents at such a young age can leave behind pain, sorrow, and will definitely affect the child’s life in the future. “Indian Horse” successfully proves to readers that abuse can mentally destroy a person’s future and leave behind brutal memories, which will never be

These words may be words such as “dismayed”, “impossibly”, “struggling”, and “cruel” (Ehrenreich). The author tries to convey a message through an emotional perspective in order to grasp the readers attention on those who are in

Bloody, Cruel, and demeaning are words that represent slavery. Many inhuman acts taken on the slaves included: separating families, treated like property, working for nothing, and abusive beatings. Slaves lived horrible, poorly treated lives. Frederick Douglass escaped slavery and told his story. In his writing, he shared all the gruesome sights he encountered through his life as a slave.

Despite the fact that the government toughened the punishment for people abduction, many new stories and videos about how the guys force girls to seat in their car in broad daylight, ignoring girls’ cries and resistance, are still appearing. The most horrible point in these videos is that the people around do not react, apparently believing that it is just a scene played out, where everything takes place by mutual consent. At the time of a non-consensual kidnapping half of the girls are hardly familiar with the groom, and the rest have never seen them before. Most of brides are kidnapped because the guy knows that she otherwise would not agree to marry him. Usually, the groom’s friends help him to take the girl to his house, where the relatives

Logos is the appeal to the audience’s logic or thinking of constructing a well-reasoned argument. It includes: facts, research, and statistics. For instance, "And what have we to oppose to them? Shall we try argument? Have we anything new to offer on the subject?

In the poem “Ballad of Birmingham’’ written by Dudley Randal, some fellow peers might disagree with his ways of figurative captivation that he uses about the tragic events displayed to his audience, but believe it or not, there might be a few reasons behind this occurrence- and why it may have surpassed us all. First and foremost, the author took advantage of the heartbreaker and tear-jolter of literature known as Pathos. Pathos is the element of persuasion that was used to make his readers understand the mother’s pain and placement of losing an innocent child; your innocent child.

(King, 263). The use of words like victim, horrors, heavy with the fatigue, are all there to make the

Ethos, logos, and pathos are forms of the rhetorical choices the author used to further convey her argument to her audience. Her use of ethos is noted in the beginning of the nonfiction piece, where she discusses her career as an author and newspaper writer; she lists her credentials and gives the readers information about her life. Each of the footnotes Ehrenreich inscribed at the bottoms of pages in the book serves as a use of logos; they are statistics and historical records providing data about companies, labor laws, and other information pertinent to previous passages. Pathos involves the author appeals to the audience’s emotions, and Ehrenreich achieves this when describing her co-worker's lives. They have limited time with family and friends due to being occupied full time by their

This book was very brutal, abusive, and very detailed

Logos formed only after the authority was established. Pathos was deeply engrained in everyone, wishing for help to come all along. An adult in uniform questioning others will usually end up being the cause for reevaluation of one’s motives, behaviors, and what they stand for. The very same predicament of morals versus survival which the boys struggle with is reflected at the ending. This struggle was not seen by Wendy L. Sunderman, but she recognized the ability from her own students that any group of people can reenact the same experiences Golding imagined.

The most challenging aspect of this paper is I still don't really understand what the purpose and use of writing such a paper is. I know how to break it down into specific appeals such as ethos and logos, but I struggled in using this to create an effective argument. Because of this I feel as though I created to many blunt statements proving little to no evidence to support any of my
