The way you present an argument is often tied into the way the argument is perceived by the audience. Rhetoric is often considered to be the art of making an argument. When writers create an argument, they often use three types of rhetorical appeals: logos, ethos, and pathos.

Logos (logical appeal)

1. What makes the argument logical? When using logos, the writer includes specific evidence and organizes the work to showcase his/her logic.

Ethos (ethical appeal) 

1. Why is the writer credible? In other words, an appeal to ethos involves the writer's credibility and qualifications.

Pathos (emotional appeal) 

1. In what way does the writer appeal to the reader's emotions? Pathos means that the reader cares about what the writer is stating.

In this rhetorical analysis, you will examine a speech to determine how effectively the author uses these three appeals. You should be able to see how each appeal falls into the speech. Pay attention to how the writer uses each appeal and also not if the writer lacks in any of the three appeals.
