Ethos
 Ethos is one of the methods described by Aristotle to validate the author's creditability, charisma, and character. This is an important concept to use to verify that the material is written by a professional in a specifically designated field of their choice.

 Pathos
 Pathos is an additional criteria of Aristotle rhetorical appeals in which this tool is designed to affect the reader’s emotions while trying to convince them of a specific …show more content…

This method is sometimes referred to the core of the paper, in which it uses concrete evidence to sway the reader’s viewpoints in the author's direction.
The first time I read the article on Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), I thought it was a well-written article on a disease which is common among young children and some adults. After learning more about Aristotle rhetorical appeals of Ethos, Pathos, and Logos, I see a completely different website that has successfully taken advantage over these methods. For instance, let us first look at how the overall site has been designed:
 The web page has definitely been designed by a professional. They have included hyperlinks on the left hand for easy navigation. The color choices are easy on the eyes and the material flows from introducing what ADHD is, to how someone may diagnose someone.

 The creditability is absolutely there due to CDC being a government

So far in AP Language and Composition, we have learned how to critically analyze texts using rhetorical and literary analysis. I feel comfortable with literary analysis because of how frequently and often I have been doing it in the past couple of years. Regarding rhetorical analysis we have learned diverse types of appeals used in rhetoric, appealing to a reader’s emotions using pathos, an ethical appeal using ethos, or appealing to a reader’s logic using logos. These skills and concepts are completely new to me and I am still beginning to understand how to use these appeals in my writing strategically.

Rhetorical Analysis of David Brook’s “People Like Us” The goal of argumentative writing implies the fact of persuading an audience that an idea is valid, or maybe more valid than somebody else’s. With the idea of making his argument successful, and depending on which topic is being established, the author uses different strategies which Aristoteles defined as “Greek Appeals”.

In the article "Life Isn't Fair - Deal With It", the author, Mike Myatt, claims that "life is not fair, nor do I believe we should attempt to socially or financially engineer it to be such" (Myatt 2011). He supports this claim in the article by using a plethora of persuasive techniques and real-life examples. Using ethos and logos to convince the reader of his point has a strong effect on this opinion piece; by being logical and credible, he creates an environment of an authority figure, making it seem that the author knows more than you; therefore, trusting them comes naturally. For example, when the author is talking about "The following 11 points came from a commencement speech widely attributed to Bill Gates entitled Rules for Life" (Myatt 2011), one becomes convinced that the author knows what he is talking about; by using Bill Gates, a famous entrepreneur, and billionaire, as an example to prove his point valid, Myatt creates trust and reliability, establishing ethos.
