Hints
  1. Ethos = the speaker's credibility move (her age/testimony).
  2. Pathos = the emotional appeal ('How dare you').
  3. Logos = the logical/statistical move (climate data).
Misconceptions to watch
  • Confuses pathos with persuasion (pathos is appeal to emotion; persuasion is the broader goal).
  • Treats every emotional moment as pathos without checking it's an APPEAL.
