Pathos, Ethos and Logos are persuasive tools which assists the writers to make their work become appealing to the readers (Pollan, Pp. 9). It is the basic reason they are known the argumentative appeals. In each easy it is important for the writer use a combination of the ethos, pathos and logos. The paper will consider the audience to address and clarify kinds of appeal which would be effective to every audience.
The ethos convinces the audience being address by the paper that the writer can be trusted because he or she is intelligent. The paper will demonstrate the ethos through the facts presented in the argument. The ethos in the paper will be demonstrated through personal experience, expert support, writing style and how the writer treats his or her audience (Pollan, Pp. 7). The paper will appeals to logic when it relies on the audience’s intelligence and when he or she supports the argument with credible evidence. The argument must be supported with examples, facts, precedents and authority. The fact that the audience has emotions and is intellectual, it is important for the writer to engage the audience emotions in the argument. Nevertheless, using emotional pathos alone in an argument might not be appealing until they are used in conjunction with the ethos and the logos. The paper will incorporate the pathos in the best way through the use of the appropriate connotations
In the Pollan’s easy, the logical and dilemma fallacy has been used to capture the audience. In his essay, “In defense for food,” Pollan believes that people should always take food instead of the nutrients got from food itself. He believes by people consuming nutrients got from the fruits and other foods they shall be promoting the nutrition organizations which aim at making profits. In addition, Pollan presents dilemma fallacy in his support for food because he believes that the nutritionist usually extract the nutrients from the fruits which can be consumed directly by the consumers and obtain the nutrients directly (Pollan, Pp. 10). I will use the logical fallacy in my argument by using examples, facts, precedents and authority gain from the past experience. The logical fallacy in the paper would aim to give clarity to the audience in regard to my arguments. The dilemma fallacy would be used in the paper to bring to light some of the issues which might be confusing the audiences as far as the arguments are concerned.
Part 2
Writing an introduction to an argumentative essay necessitates the writer to write the introduction starting with a sentence that enables the reader of the topic to be interested with it. The sentence should be followed with a background that makers the reader to better understand the topic and the issues to be presented in the discussion. The writer should conclude the introduction of his or her topic with a thesis statement. The thesis statement will present what will be discussed through out the argumentative easy in a collective and collaborative manner (Pollan, Pp. 9). Narrowing and Choosing research topics for MLA and APA essays necessitate the writer to understand the audience he or she will be addressing in the argument. By doing so, the writer would be in a better position to know what to talk about in either MLA or APA writing techniques. I will prepare my research by understanding how to write an introduction and how to choose my audience for the research.
