Hate Crime Ethos Pathos Logos

Analysis of Argumentation essay
Hate crimes are terrible things that are becoming more and more common in America because people don’t like the way they look or feel. The purpose of the “ Debate: What is a Hate Crime” is to teach people of a crime that is becoming quite important in the society.
The author uses pathos and logos several times in this writing. Pathos is in use when the author says, “Attempts to add sexual orientation to the federal statute began shortly after the brutal murder of young Matthew Sheppard in Wyoming, apparently because of his homosexuality.” He uses logos when he says, “ the yearly number of hate-crimes charges brought by the Justice Department dropped from seventy-six in 1996 to twenty-two ten years later.
Hate

crimes are like a surfer not riding a wave because it looks different than a normal wave. The fact that someone can just kill someone, because they aren’t the same color, or they don’t have the same sexual orientation is terrible. It is like they see them, and they automatically jump to the conclusion that they are different than them. For example, when 9/11 happened, if people saw a person from the Middle East, he must be a terrorist, because they people that did 9/11 are from the same place as them. The same goes for President Obama, no one listens to him just because is black and, he doesn’t look
like most of the people.
