Persuasion
11
Claim
State your argument.
Example I am going to try to convince you that
chocolate is a healthy snack.
12
Logos
Facts, numbers, and information can be very
convincing.
Example A Snickers bar has 280 calories and 30
grams of sugar. Thats not very healthy.
13
Examples of Logos

• Facts - can be proven.
• Expert opinions or quotations
• Definitions - statement of meaning of word or
  phrase
• Statistics - offer scientific support
• Examples - powerful illustrations
• Anecdote - incident, often based on writer's
  personal experiences
• Emotional appeals - to provide support for
  reasons, carefully chosen loaded words, carrying
  positive or negative connotations, sway readers'
  emotions
• Present opposition - and give reasons and
  evidence to prove the opposition wrong
• Conclude with call to action - urge the reader to
  do something

14
Big Names
Important people or experts can make your
argument seem more convincing.
Example Former U.S. president Bill Clinton
thinks that junk food should be taken out of
vending machines.
15
Pathos
Getting people to feel happy, sad, afraid, or
angry can help your argument.
Example Your donation might just get this puppy
off the street and into a good home.
16
Pathos Cond

• 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 get them to feel what the writer
  feels. A common use of pathos would be to draw
  pity from an audience. Another use of pathos
  would be to inspire anger from an audience
  perhaps in order to prompt action. Pathos is the
  Greek word for both suffering and experience.
  The word pathetic is derived from pathos.
• Pathos can be developed by using meaningful
  language, emotional tone, emotion evoking
  examples, stories of emotional events, and
  implied meanings. 

17
Ethos
If people believe and trust in you, youre more
likely to persuade them.
Example Believe me! Ive been there before. Im
just like you.
18
Ethos Cond

• Ethos, or the ethical appeal, means to convince
  an audience of the authors credibility or
  character.
• An author would use ethos to show to his audience
  that he is a credible source and is worth
  listening too. Ethos is the Greek word for
  character. The word ethic is derived from
  ethos.
• Ethos can be developed by choosing language that
  is appropriate for the audience and topic (also
  means choosing proper level of vocabulary),
  making yourself sound fair or unbiased,
  introducing your expertise or pedigree, and by
  using correct grammar and syntax.
