The tactics logos, ethos and pathos appeal to the different sides of a person's minds. Logos appeals to logic, often used to persuade an audience through reason. Ethos appeals to ethics, usually used to convince the audience the credibility of the speaker. Pathos is used to appeal to the emotional side of the audience, being used in a way to create an emotional response from the audience in favor of the speaker.

In my essay, I was able to use pathos, ethos, and logos effectively to interpret the ideas of power and how it affects one’s personal life. I used the technique of logos, by taking the information of Julius Caesar, Abraham Lincoln, and Adolf Hitler as evidence so I could have accurate conclusions. Also with the evidence and the leaders I mentioned in my essay, I stated Ethos, because it related to the idea that my ideas were credible based on my evidence. Ethos was also stated in the in-text citations and quotes, helping to make my essay credible that I got the information from a worthy source. I appealed to emotion with the technique of pathos, by creating sympathy for Brutus’s wife in The Tragedy of Julius Caesar.

To get their audience from where they are to where they want them to be (Jeremy peter), authors and speakers tried many ways of persuasion until for more than 2000 years, Aristotle, a Greek philosopher, wrote The Art of Rhetoric in which he divided the means of persuasion into ethos, pathos and logos. They are means of persuading others to believe a particular point of view (Examples of Ethos, Logos, and Pathos) and such approaches can be seen in the story of A good man in Rwanda by Mark Doyle in which he tells a story of Capt. Mbaye who stood out among the madness of war, risking his life to save others . First of all, what is ethos?

Antony gave a powerful and moving speech in act three of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. The speech persuaded the crowd to shift their opinions of Caesar’s murder to Antony's own. Antony uses persuasive elements to make his own point of view the unanimous view of the entire crowd. Pathos is used to create a connection between the crowd and himself, Ethos to show his credibility in the matter and finally rhetorical questions to make the crowd think causing them to find reason within themselves. Antony's opening words were the most important in the whole speech.
Brutus and Booth-Noble Purgers Throughout history, people have sacrificed their lives, reputations, and honor to do what they believe is just, regardless of what others think. John Wilkes Booth, the assassin that killed President Abraham Lincoln in 1865 has been viewed as a traitor throughout American history; however, in Booth’s eyes, he was saving a nation from the injustices of an unfit leader.

Brutus and Booth may be murderers, but they show their honorable intentions and selfless character traits through their effective use of logos and ethos.
Logos: This appeal targets the audience's rationality and reasoning abilities. It relies on reasoned arguments, facts, evidence, and logical explanations. Speakers using logos present their viewpoints as logical and well-supported, using deductive reasoning and syllogisms to demonstrate the validity of their claims. Pathos: The appeal to pathos targets the audience's emotions. By evoking emotions such as pride, love, compassion, anger, shame, or fear, speakers establish a personal connection with the audience.
Ethos, pathos, and logos are the three rhetorical techniques. Ethos appeals to ethics or character, pathos appeals to the emotion of the audience, and logos appeals to logic by using credible facts. Out of these three, I would say logos is most effective when trying to persuade someone. When an author uses logos, they use facts and evidence to back up their claim. This includes examples and sources.
