Rhetorical Analysis

The three rhetorical appeals: Everyday Writer page 46 .

Freewrite: Consider your own writing/communication. List the three appeals (ethos, logos and pathos) and then come up with an example of each in your own work. Try to have each example be an entire work that was dominated by one of the appeals.

We do some thinking and writing about questions of rhetorical effectiveness in order to practice.
First of all, look at the pictures here and then on this page.

Then you read the handout. And other things.
