Because of this appeal to logos, Garrett manages to appeal to the audience’s emotions by getting them to inquire about a time where they may have told a child that they could be anything they wanted to be when they grow up, and the negative effect this could have. As for ethos, Garrett promotes her article’s credibility by using both academic and ordinary sources; therefore, allowing her to expand her audience beyond those with a higher form of education. Throughout the entire article, Garrett can be seen using rhetorical appeals to support her

In chapter eleven, “Paired and Pared”, of The Sibling Effect, author Jeffrey Kluger informs his audience about twins and only children and how they are different than other broods. Not only are twins and only children, referred to as “singletons,” biologically different, but their emotional, physical, psychological, and social development is as well. By devoting an entire chapter solely to twins and singletons, Kluger is indirectly claiming that these offspring view the world in a special, and sometimes unexplainable, way. Kluger validates this claim by the use of governmental policies, psychological studies, controversial viewpoints, and personal narratives. Kluger opens up the chapter by summarizing the harsh views of psychologists G. Stanley Hall and Abraham Arden Brill.
