In the state of Arizona we are receiving a $75 million state budget cut to all public universities. Throughout this editorial called "Arizona Legislature passes deep cuts to Public Universities" the author effectively uses Ethos, Pathos, Logos, and Kairos. Our Public Universities have been spending way more money than the Government is giving them to support education. You are all probably thinking that someone would at least notice the overspending right? Well they did but they noticed it too late. To the readers it feels as if the State of Arizona does not really care of the success of students and they rather just charge all the students higher tuition when they could have prevented that from happening just by keeping track of all the Universities spending.
The first appeal that I noticed the author uses is Pathos. This editorial had areas that appealed to readers emotionally because of …show more content…

The author uses logos effectively by displaying a lot of data and statistics in the editorial. As stated in the editorial it is said that “Their meeting seemed to have little effect on Ward, who was one of the legislators who agreed Saturday to a budget that reduces state spending for higher education by about 14 percent, or $99 million. The budget scales back funding for the state’s flagship universities, Arizona State University and the University of Arizona, and eliminates state money completely for several community colleges.” It is also stated in the editorial by Governor Doug Ducey Spokesman is that “We can’t spend money that doesn’t exist and that we don’t have,” Ducey spokesman Daniel Scarpinato told Huff Post. “When faced with a $1.5 billion budget deficit, [Ducey] happens to think that it’s a good idea for the state budget to be balanced. He ran on that.” According to this data it is clearly shown that Logos was used to inform us on why the budgets are happening and by how much it is being

Persuasion: “The act of causing people to do or believe something: the act or activity of persuading people: a particular type of belief or way of thinking” (Merriam-Webster). This concept was used by Orman, Ericsson and Gladwell in each of their writings. Ericsson’s usage of the rhetorical triangle to achieve persuasion evolved through her use of pathos and logos. These two aspects allowed Ericsson to capture her point that everyone lies, and that those lies can take on different forms. When an author appeals to the audiences’ emotions and their imaginative sympathies, they are alluring to the appeal of pathos.

After reading “In Praise of the ‘F’ Word” written by Mary Sherry I can tell you first hand that she did an exceptional job using rhetoric to make the readers believe what she believes. Although she used all three,ethos,logos,and pathos, she mainly used ethos and pathos to not only get her point across but to also persuade the audience. To begin, Mary Sherry used very little logos, but when she did she used it in a very powerful and effective way. In the very first sentence of the speech she says a shocking statistic, “Tens of thousands of eighteen year olds will graduate this year and be handed meaningless diplomas.”

In today’s school systems, an important decision must be made in order to determine the future of the students. The decision is whether or not to get rid of textbooks and switch to digital ebooks.

Her article includes rhetorical appeals that persuasively communicate to the audience.

Crowley uses logos to convey a logical reasoning that we need to adapt and accommodate to certain situations. The audience sees a clear connection between triggers and trauma, which is something that ethos and pathos does not achieve. In the last paragraph, she states, “there is so much to be gained from the study of literature, including the ability to address and mediate the very triggering issues that students what to avoid.” The author provides reasoning in the form of logos, considering that there is a substantial amount of literature to learn from in actuality; more than we recognize.
