This post hit me right in the brain lol I remember the first time I had to write a persuasive piece and completely ignored ethos, and my prof called me out like “where’s the credibility?” I know this now: all three ethos, pathos, and logos actually work like a team. You need the logic, yeah, but also emotion and trust. That part about connecting with the reader emotionally really stuck with me, because I used to be all facts and no heart. Total game changer once I figured that out.
Also, side note, your breakdown of the three persuaders was super clear. Like, I wish I had this when I was struggling through my business writing last semester. Honestly, anyone…
