All authors, at varying levels, write with purpose. Ever written work has a purpose, varying from artistic creativity to academic and professional curiosity. Although the purpose is evident to the author, the reader may find difficulty determining what that purpose is. In the case of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) public release on Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), the document’s purpose, as well as its intended audience, can be determined through an introspective analysis. One can use the three rhetorical appeals of logos, pathos, and ethos to determine the purpose of the CDC’s document, and give one’s self insight into the audience for which it is intended.
things did not go as planned, and ended in a disaster, the war turned against Germany. Hitler became surrounded by the Allied troops, with their military and submarines.

Pathos, ethos, and logos have a specified role in argumentative literature. Logos is defined as the logic behind an argument. Writers utilize logos to impress a reader; thus, persuading the audience to believe in the reasoning presented to them. Ethos, also known as ethics, illuminates the author’s “back-bone”, or belief system, which provided him with a position for the argument. In other words, ethos explains why the author believes what he is saying and why the reader should, too.

Pathos is to convey feelings, ethos is to establish credibility, and logos use logic and facts. However, one device works the best to convince the readers. Logos is the rhetorical device that provides a stronger reaction
The use of ethos, pathos, and logos is a powerful tool in persuasive speeches. Ethos refers to the credibility and trustworthiness of the speaker, pathos appeals to emotions, and logos appeals to logic and reason. In this essay, I will compare and contrast the use of ethos, pathos, and logos in two speeches: "The Gettysburg Address" by Abraham Lincoln and "Ain't I a Woman" by Sojourner Truth. Firstly, let's analyze "The Gettysburg Address.
Ethos is used by using facts to back up their arguments and claims. Readers should be able to trust that the authors one finds that they know what they are talking about. After some research of each author, they are both trustworthy writers. Another thing is the politics, politics are very important to the society that we live in so it would be safe to say that the authors could easily be trusted with the information they portray. The authors used an example of a document, that was found on October 23, 1946, with instructions on how keep the Jewish children out of the hands of Jewish officials.
People have been persuading one another for thousands of years, they have been using three different types of appeals, ethos, pathos and logos. Over the thousands of years people have realized the easiest appeal to use is pathos: appealing to one’s emotions.

September 11, 2001 is a day that has gone down in history as a tragic day in American history due to the horrific terrorist attacks caused by the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda. A couple of hours later following the attacks previous president George W Bush delivered a much-needed reassurance and a sense of leadership to the American people in his address to the nation when most American felt uneasy and unsure of what the future would look like. Bush uses several examples of Pathos, Ethos and Logos along with several uses of rhetorical devices to get American moral up from the ground. Pathos was used to evoke emotional responses from the audience. Logos was used to appeal to the audience’s sense of logic and reason the audience.
Ethos is an appeal to ethics, it is a means of convincing the character or credibility of the reader. Pathos is the appeal to emotion, a way to convince their audience of their argument, trying to get an emotional response. Logos is an appeal to logic, it's a way of persuading the reader by reason. It is important to recognize these within text to get a better understanding of how to use the appeals to their audience, in a effective way. I believe the article on ADHD on the CDC website does portray all three of the appeals effectively; but mainly the logos appeal.
Effective writing is done in several different ways, one of which is through the rhetorical triangle. The rhetorical triangle comprises of ethos, logos, and pathos. Ethos appeals to moral character, credibility, and tone. Logos is facts, statistics, and reason. While pathos is about emotion, impact, and personal connection.
Logos is the use of logical statements and examples to help support arguments such as reasoning. Ethos is the way the author sees their own authority or the authority of others. Pathos is the way the author uses emotions to sway the reader’s
The use of ethos, pathos, and logos in any type of writing or speaking can create a commanding and arresting effect on the reader/listener.
