Rhetoric in Practice: Alien Landing Best Friends “Guys, you would not believe what happened last night! While I was out in the meadows, a flying saucer suddenly fell out of the sky and went straight into this guy’s truck, completely obliterating it. I got to admit, the explosion was pretty cool but on with the story. Right away, the owner of the truck came running out of his with a loaded shotgun.

I made an appeal to ethos as I listed the different levels of education I have gone through and my professional experience within the company.
