Quiz #3- Chapter 8

Both passages gave valuable point regarding both logos and pathos. Passage number one included a profound persuasive way of logos that added a lot of credibility on to what it was specifically talking about. The author mentions in passage number one, “In the New Testament the word used for this type of time is kairos.” By stating this, the author is informing the reader of a factual word which means “right or opportune moment”. This word is contrasted with the word chronos which basically means something put in chronological time. Logos is greatly being used in this passage as well as Pathos because the author is appealing to our emotions by questioning whether we’re “willing” to change the way of our climate or not. Passage number two also uses an immense amount of credibility and I’m choosing this passage as the one which was most persuasive to me personally. The author incorporated a huge amount of pathos appeal. In the reading, it mentions a way on how to change the way of taking care of Global Warming and how in terms, we can gain positive outcomes in helping the environment. The author mentions in passage number two about “bold shifts” to create “hundreds and thousands of new jobs.” Not only would the environment be saved, it would add lots of money to our capital investment as well. The way the appeal of both Pathos and Logos incorporated leaned me towards passage two as being the most persuasive.
