Persuasive Appeals – Techniques Used to Persuade an Audience 1) Appeal to ETHOS 2) Appeal to PATHOS3) Appeal to LOGOS

What is a Persuasive Appeal?An argument that a

speaker/writer directs toward a certain belief/feeling/attitude that his/her audience holds

Allows speaker/writer to tailor his/her argument in the best possible way according to his/her audience’s needs/desires

Appeals to ETHOS: -Based on the

authority/credibility of the writer

-Writer must convince the audience of his/her good character, good sense, and good motives

-Created through known experience, expertise, credentials/certificiation, polished presentation of material

Appeals to Pathos: -use emotions to persuade -attempt to persuade by making reader/listener feel guilt,

love, security, greed, pity, humor, etc. -shown through vivid, emotional language, and sensory

details -are sometimes dangerous—when used as the main

support for an argument, they may be masking weak arguments

Appeals to Logos: -normally considered

most effective appeal -based on the logic,

facts, and evidence, which is usually considered to be most important to readers/listeners

-shown through details, statistics, expert testimony of a credible source, facts, definitions, witness statements
