ethos, pathos and logos

The Greek philosopher Aristotle was a very intelligent man in his time so being a philosopher he was always going to have to prove a point. He created his own way of making a persuasive essay. He knows he will have to keep it factual, keep appeal while expressing his own beliefs and feelings on the matter. So he divided it all up and created ethos, logos and pathos. Ethos is the appeal, the opining line that makes the reader pull in for more details, like an add. it also persuades the reader that your choice is the right one. Pathos is the emotions that you insert into a persuasive essay. I personally don’t think it’s a good idea to insert your own emotions into a persuasive essay. I understand that the demand and immediate words like “now” or “need” are to help press the issue until it is resolved. But emotions make things messy I prefer factual logical evidence because you cant second guess that. Which brings us to our next word logos which translates to logical. It “means persuading by the use of reasoning” this was “Greek philosopher” Aristotle’s favorite. You give reasons and explanations but it makes perfect sense.
