When you persuade someone, you are trying to make him/her agree with you or see things your way. In order to do this, you must appeal to the audience in 3 different ways:
1. emotional (their feelings, empathy) (pathos)
2. logical (facts) (logos)
3. trustworthiness of the speaker (ethos)
*A helpful link with more details about each of these appeals can be found here
How does Barack Obama persuade you to believe that he is right about education? What appeals does he use? Give me at least 3 examples of all 3 and why you believe they appeal to the audience.
emotional appeal:
"If you give up on yourself you are giving up on your country"
Appeals to your sense of patriotism...it implies that if you
do not try hard, you do not care about the future of America
