RHETORICAL APPLEALS

PATHOS

Perhaps the most common way of conveying a pathetic appeal is through narrative or story, which can turn the abstractions of logic into something palpable and present. The values, beliefs, and understandings of the writer are implicit in the story and conveyed imaginatively to the reader. Pathos thus refers to both the emotional and the imaginative impact of the message on an audience, the power with which the writer's message moves the audience to decision or action.

RHETORICAL APPEALSWhat is ethos? Appeal to ethics or character*Greek for 'character' *Refers to the trustworthiness or credibility of the writer or speaker. *Ethos is often conveyed through tone and style of the message and through the way the writer or speaker refers to differing views. *It can also be affected by the writer's reputation as it exists independently from the message--his or her expertise in the field, his or her previous record or integrity*The argument's 'ethical appeal' or the 'appeal from credibility.'
