Another appeal authors use to get the reader’s attention is the logos appeal which has to do with facts and statistics convincing a reader of the author’s point.

    Aristotle writes pages upon pages about Rhetoric & its proper uses throughout his three books. However, a majority of his arguments come down to his personal interpretation of what is considered appropriate in any argumentative situation. Specifically in Part 11 of his third book Rhetoric, he makes many errors in these interpretations. (1) First, Aristotle has made a habit of being redundant. For example, Aristotle first brings up the idea that similes are metaphors in Part 10 on page 17 when he says, “The simile, as has been said before, is a metaphor, differing from it only the way it is put, and just because it is longer it is less attractive.”
