Ethos – persuasion through the author's character or credibility. This is the way a speaker (or writer) presents herself to the audience. You can build credibility by citing professional sources, using content-specific language, and by showing evidence of your ethical, knowledgeable background.
Logos – persuasion through logic. This is the way a speaker appeals to the audience through practicality and hard evidence. You can develop logos by presenting
data, statistics, or facts by crafting a clear claim with a logically-sequenced argument. (See enthymeme and syllogism)
Pathos – persuasion through emotion or disposition.This is the way a speaker appeals to the audience through emotion, pity, passions, or dispositions.
