What is Rhetoric?
©The art or study of using language effectively and persuasively

Ethos- appeal to credibility, beliefs Logos- appeal to logic Pathos- appeal to emotions
![Page 16: Mrs. Crandall- 9th Lit/Comp. Nonfiction Pretest 1. What is nonfiction? 2. What makes a credible source? 3. What are some different forms of technical.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649cfe5503460f949cf47d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Logos Reason (logos) - support your general claims with
concrete, specific data.
Reason which begins with specifics and moves toward a generalization is inductive.
Example: Several clubs have reported difficulty completing their business during lunch period. This proves that lunch periods should be longer.
Reason which starts with a general observation and moves to specifics is deductive.
Example: When people hurry, inefficiency and poor communication are the results. Under current conditions clubs must hurry at lunch time meetings. Therefore, lunch period should be lengthened to allow for better club meetings.

Logos Continued… Use two or three different strong reasons to
support your argument. Support your reasons with evidence.
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 Present opposition - and give reasons and
evidence to prove the opposition wrong Conclude with call to action - urge the reader to
do something

Tips for Reading Nonfiction© Try to separate Facts from Opinions.
© The writer has chosen facts that present a certain picture of the subject.
© Think about what might be missing as well as what is there
© Think about the writer's purpose. © Is the writer trying to win you over to his or her
opinion? © Learn to appreciate how well a writer says
something, even when you don't agree. © Be a critical reader.© Be aware of the writer's tone. © Frequently a writer reveals much about himself or
herself by the tone he or she uses. © This is especially important in autobiographical
writing
