Homework 2

In my English class last semester we had three main papers and all of them seemed, to me, to revolve around Ethos, Logos as well as Pathos.  In our first paper of the semester the topic was to write about a space.  And how this space is either functional/dysfunctional. But, also were instructed to write about who the intended user of the space is and why.  Logos and Logical go together like peanut butter and jelly.  And in the paper logic was used in almost every paragraph.  When I was talking about specific why of how is space was dysfunctional I used percentages, and statistics in order to clearly get my point across.  Also, without the use of logic or Logos I believe the paper itself would have not had the same merit as it did when it was used.  Now another was that my paper was able to keep its credibility and clearness was through the use of Ethos.  Although I did not have a full understanding of this I still used citations.  But I was able to get interviews with the staff of the space as well to make sure my paper was very secure in my argument.  Last but not least I used Pathos in my paper to make sure that the reader understood the point of view of the current user of the space and why it was not made for them.  I think that all of these put together really made the paper for this class overall more understandable. As do I believe that without any use of Ethos, Logos, or Pathos my paper would have been un-creditable as well as mediocre at best.
