Paper #4 Prompts

Paper #4 will be written on your own outside of class. Papers should be 800-1,000 words. Please double space, use 1 inch margins, and a 12 pt. font. Choose one of the following prompts to respond to:

1. Ethos, logos, pathos: Write a paper examining the use of ethos, pathos, logos in a magazine/online article, song, film, or speech. Are all three of these rhetorical elements working together well or does one work noticeably better than the others? Do not just simply say that the author/singer/director makes use of one or more of these rhetorical methods, but show how they use these methods.
