Having strong logos is one important way that we can build our ethos within an essay. The appeal to emotion/Pathos. Most simply, pathos is the appeal to our human emotions. We’re more often moved by our emotions than by logic or common sense, so pathos is a powerful mode of persuasion. The appeal to character/Ethos. It is a way of convincing your audience of your credibility as a writer. Some credibility can be, in a way, built-in. Level of education in relation to the topic may provide some built-in ethos.
4. The first step in writing a persuasive essay is choosing a topic and picking a side. If the topic is something you believe in, it will make the entire experience of researching, writing, and arguing your perspective more personal. Choosing a topic that appeals to you on an emotional or sentimental level will make its defense easier. Plus, chances are you’ll already know a good deal of information about the topic, so you won’t be left scrambling when it’s time to start your research.
Persuasive writing provides guidance for framing an argument and a way of organizing the pros and cons of an issue into one document. This type of writing can help you develop critical thinking skills and build your self-confidence.
