Furthermore, he introduces logos, ethos and pathos and shows how to “wield” each rhetorical tool. In Part 2, Heinrichs discusses common logical fallacies as well as rhetorical fouls.

Samir Boussarhane During the early 20th century in the U.S, most children of the lower and middle class were workers. These children worked long, dangerous shifts that even an adult would find tiresome.

...the government needs to be harsher on those that break laws against sex crimes. In addition, the writers have used descriptive language to appeal to their audience; by using certain words to describe sex trafficking and its problems, they can evoke emotions that cause their readers to agree that so far, there has not been enough done to punish those involved in sex trafficking. Although the writers have successfully proved their claim, it would have been easier to determine whether the writers were credible if the readers were able to look into the background of a specific author and if the writers had mentioned the counterargument or at least given information about why the government has not heavily enforced the laws that they have put into place. By including these two things, they writers would have a slightly more concrete argument.

Appell is discussing the different ways homosexuals have chosen to go about having children, with adoption being the topic of discussion. She is an Associate Professor at the William S. Boyd School of Law at the University of Nevada. Appell opens her article by using the emotional appeal, pathos. This enables her to grasp her audience’s attention right away. Although her reputation takes a hit due to the lack of a thesis statement, her occupation saves her when attempting to establish credibility. She uses her background in law to provide the reader with the legal obstacles homosexuals have had to overcome and those they cannot seem to get over when it comes to adopting which is a major way she establishes her credibility or ethos. Evaluating the definitions of certain legal terms and then interpreting them using her own words incorporates logos into the article. All of the forms of rhetoric are present in this article and they have effectively been put to use.
