Group C Prompt
I believe that it is most effective to use all three. Some essays are swayed to one or another, but those only speak to some people. A combination of all three speak to a more broad audience and are more likely to be enjoyed by more people. It is good to have a balance because it can help the paper flow better as well. In my essays I wrote during Boot Camp, I tried to use a balance of all three but I am not a strong writer so that was hard for me to "design" my writing, but I will work on this throughout the revision process.

I definitely agree with you. I didn't incorporate all three in any of my essays either. Logos, pathos and ethos are all important and crucial to the essays. Without one of them the essay seems to be lacking something. I agree with you it's like saying lets eat a peanut-butter jelly sandwich without the one of the above. Let's just keep trying on improving our writing. I'm sure we'll get it :)
ReplyDeleteI think we are both on the same page here with the idea that it is most effective to use pathos, ethos, and logos. Yes I would agree that some essays are more swayed towards one or the other but could make an essay less effective. I believe that having a good balance of all three will deliver the best essay and help you get your point/message to your readers. I also think that the revision processes will help us achieve a good balance of all three in our papers.
