The Persuasive Essay

This lesson will give you the language you need to start analysing the effectiveness of persuasive essays.

The writer wishes to convince the reader to believe his/her thesis (establishing ethos or credibility) through the use of STRONG argument (logic) and emotional appeal (pathos).

Aristotle 384 – 322 BC RHETORIC: The Art of Persuasion Ethos Pathos Logos

ETHOS PATHOSLOGOS The Rhetorical Triangle Refers to the credibility or character of the communicator (author), as seen by the audience or reader.

1. “Is the author knowledgeable on the subject?” 1. “Is the author knowledgeable on the subject?” 2. “Is the author free of any vested interest or ulterior motive in the outcome of the debate?” When considering ethos, ask yourself “Does the author treat opposing views with respect or take cheap shots at opponents?”

ETHOS PATHOSLOGOS The Rhetorical Triangle Refers to the "emotional appeals" an authors uses to persuade their audience by arousing their emotions. Many times, this appeal is how a writer will make an argument "matter" to readers.

1. “Does the author appeal to my emotions or is the essay loaded with facts, figures, and nothing else?” 1. “Does the author appeal to my emotions or is the essay loaded with facts, figures, and nothing else?” 2. “Is the emotional appeal effective or overwhelming?” When considering pathos, ask yourself “Specifically, HOW does the author appeal to these emotions?”

Refers to the author’s appeal to the logical reasoning ability of readers. “Logical appeals” create effective arguments by including facts and other supporting details to back up the author's claims. Arguments must also be well organized and skilfully written to provide logical appeal. ETHOS PATHOSLOGOS The Rhetorical Triangle

1. “What points are offered to support the thesis, and are they presented logically or has the author jumped to conclusions?” When considering logos, ask yourself “Does the author rely exclusively on one kind of logical appeal? Is there a balance? 3. “How do the structure, style and technique of the essay work together to create logos?”

ETHOS PATHOSLOGOS Why a triangle? Why not a simple a list?
