Appeals

I learned this semester that there are different appeals and we also learned how to accuratly use them, as in the certain types of papers. One appeal we learned about was ethos, and ethos is based on the character of the speaker, relying solely on the reputation of another. This is something that I used in my research paper. It helped me a lot, and then we would take the information from sources and used them to varify our points on a topic. The second appeal we learned about is logos. Logos is an appeal based on logic or reason, this kind of appeal is usually used with bigger companies or larger corporations. It can also be used sometimes with scholarly documents. The third and final appeal we learned about was pathos. Advertisements are usually looked at towards your emotions. Usually when I see something, like a dog they show on T.V. that looks like he's in bad shape but you want to help him so you send money. All of these appeals are important to know about because you can use them in a wide range of places.
