PERSUASIVE STRATEGIES
Pathos The use of emotion to persuade Could be anger, sympathy, fear, love, etc. Example… Advertisements for the ASPCA that use sad looking animals in cages to get you to donate money
Ethos The trustworthiness of a speaker Can be based on the speaker’s background Speaker must build a relationship with the listener Example… You are more likely to believe me because I’m a teacher
Logos The use of logic and facts to prove a point and persuade Example… You would use statistics to convince somebody that one football team is better than another
