Define logos, pathos, ethos. Give an example of each, and how can knowing about logos pathos and ethos help you're writing?

     Logos are basic logical sentences. The senses give logic and credibility so that you may apply logical reasoning in your writing. This is so the person who is reading what you've wrote could obviously make a logical conclusion as to what you're trying to convey in the writing. For example: Plants omit oxygen in the air. Humans breathe in oxygen from the air.

     Pathos provides an emotional appeal in the paragraph.  This is so the person reading the paragraph can be emotionally connected with the story.  For example I have received lots of plants in my home as gifts from family when I had a car accident. Each plant reminds me of how much my family cares about me.  Plants are so beautiful and keep me healthy too.

     Ethos Show the credibility of the characters you're talking about and the actual events.  This happens by creating a sentence or paragraph this states the facts about that person and or events happening in and around that person.

For example I used to be an EMT.  I received my certification as an EMT-D in 1991. Being licensed has an EMT-D I was certified in defibrillation along with CPR.  

     Incorporating Logos, Pathos and Ethos in your writing create full paragraphs with logic, emotion, facts and credibility. You will have a well-rounded story that gives every reader interest. With that said there are times when you do not want to have emotion in your writing. There will be situations where you do not need logic in your story. Knowing about these styles of writing will be helpful in many stories that we write in the future.
