In Detroit Arcadia, Solnit used these following appeals; Logos, Ethos. The author used Logos when Solnit stated that ‘’Between 1978 and 1998, the city issued 9,000 building permits for new homes and 108,000 demolition permits, and quite a lot of structures were annihilated without official sanction. ‘This is an example of Logos because it is a fact and it has specific dates that are listed. Another example of Logos is when she first actually visits the place, my first visit began somberly enough, as I contemplated the great neoclassical edifice of the train station, designed by the same architects and completed the same year as Grand Central station in Manhattan. This is a perfect example of logos because she was able to go and see the place
and experience it first-hand. Logos is when you are able to provide facts and experiences. This example could also use as Ethos but, another good example of ethos in these articles “On another visit, I took a long walk down a sunken railroad spur that, in more prosperous times, had been used to move goods from one factory to another.” She was able to view it herself and learn some important details of the place without having to rely on someone else. This is a good example of ethos because she was able to view it and able to see what was going around during the time period. Another example of logos/ethos is when Solnit stated that According to the 2000 census, “another 112,357 whites left the city in the 1990s and 10,000 more people a year continue to leave.” This source is reliable because if it wasn’t then it wouldn’t say according to, this is reliable because it has specific numbers that no one else can give without researching it.
Logos appeals to reason, which are things like facts and statistics, and it works in the writers favor because it gives more information to the reader, which in turn builds the writer’s case. Nemko opens up almost right away with a “killer statistic” that warns of the fact that even if a student is giving an extended amount of time, if he or she did not graduate from high school in the top half of their class it is very unlikely that they will earn some kind of college degree. That is one statistic that is never heard, which is why it is stunning and a great way for Nemko to start off his argument. The fact that Nemko applies logos to his argument is the first reason why I agree with his proposal that too many young adults go to
One of Berry’s topics that comes close to a use of logos is found in Paragraphs XI and XII, where he makes the case of an inescapable choice that we have to make. One choice is that we can continue to promote global and unlimited free trade, which must now be protected by a huge, expensive, and worldwide police force, maintained by several or all nations. Such a police force would only be effective as it “oversways the
Logos is the sense of reason. The Declaration of Independence has a whole list of things that the king did wrong. One such crime the
The first rhetorical device is logos; it is used to show the number of people that suffer the long wait of a second chance at life. MacKay states “The list is long. With over 60,000 people in line in the United States alone, the average wait for a cadaverous kidney is ten long years” (Mackay 157). 60,000 people live the burden of hoping to get the organ needed before it is too late. That number shows that this problem is not small and affects a good percentage of the United States. To add to that
An example of Moss’s outstanding usage of ethos, pathos, and logos is Jeffrey Dunn’s story. Dunn held an executive position at Coca-Cola in 2001, when the main company goal was to drive Coca-Cola into poorer areas. On a business trip to Brazil, Dunn realized that “these people need a lot of things, but they don’t need a Coke” and decided to push the company in a healthier direction. This choice led to Dunn’s eventual firing (491-494). This story not only appeals to pathos by getting to readers’ emotions, but also to ethos and logos because Dunn is a credible source and gives an authentic experience that adds to the credible feel of the article. (very good info./analysis, keep but

For example, when Joe Louis won the boxing championship: “Champion of the world. A Black boy. Some Black mother’s son. He was the strongest man in the world” (107). Angelou uses logos in this quote to show the audience that Louis is a champion boxer and that he is a hero to the African society. The society is delighted to hear that Louis is declared champion. Also, segregation is seen as a symbol in this chapter. For example, when Angelou talks about slavery before the fight: “This might be the end of the world. If Joe lost we were back in slavery and beyond help” (106). This quote is also conveying logos because Louis is the person who represent the African American community and if her were to lose, its as if they lost everything and would go back as being slaves. This gives the audience facts about that society back in the late
She uses testimonial device to bring in the well-known reliable source known as Llewellyn Hinkes-Jones from “The Atlantic” to help support her case. She uses pathos to appeal to her audience’s emotions by pulling on their heartstrings. She uses the logos to provide support to her article which she means to convince her audience by use of logic, reason, or statistics. She uses euphemism to make something harsh or distasteful sound in a somewhat positive way. She uses ethos to convince her audience of her credibility. There are very few weaknesses in her article which are greatly outweighed by the many strengths in

While reading short stories, two stood out: Ernest Hemingway’s Hills Like White Elephants and Raymond Carver’s Cathedral. The themes in both stories are powerful and convey strong messages that really pose existential thoughts. Not only is each story’s theme attention grabbing, but so is the common and reoccurring use of symbolism throughout the stories. They did not just use the Element of Fiction symbolism, but even used one common symbol. Ernest Hemingway’s story Hills Like White Elephants and Raymond Carver’s story Cathedral each contain existential and similar themes such as talking versus communicating and looking versus seeing, as well as demonstrating creative and comparable symbolism throughout.
...e, a reliable source. Although the rhetorical appeal of logos is sparsely used, Ellison’s idea is not hindered.
In “Hospitals Aren’t Hotels,” Theresa Brown builds an argument to demonstrate her point that patient satisfaction should not be a major factor when we evaluate hospital quality. Brown builds on this argument by using a rhetorical mode called logos, which is done by reasoning with logic to develop ideas and connect them to the claim. In addition, Brown also uses the literary device of diction, selecting certain words in addition to add power to the ideas expressed.
Melanie Martinez uses logos most effectively in “Mrs.Potato Head”. In one line she sings “Potatoes turn to French fries, yeah it's common sense.” This is a metaphor the potato being Ms.Potato Head also known as the young girls, and french fries is supposed to be ugly. Then in a few lines, she restates this in “Baby soft skin turns into leather.” Although she did seem to use pathos greatly in this song, logos was most
Another example of the rhetorical strategy of logos is when the authors describe what the purpose of this essay. As stated, “the purpose of the study was to evaluate and extend the impact of a peer-mediated, theatre-based intervention on children with ASD utilizing a randomized experimental design measuring social ability before and after treatment across multiple levels of analysis” (Corbett et al 660). Reading that a theatre-based intervention can benefit children with ASD, makes the choice of being in a theatre arts major is worth
