Who Cares?
When I started looking for a piece to write about I thought it would take forever, but when I got on to slate, one article jumped out at me...What first grabbed my attention was the title; “Who Cares Who Won the Nobel Peace Prize?” I thought that this was going to be a piece of writing that was so far out there that it would not have any realistic logos in it. When I read it I saw all of the logos in the article. (I’m not saying that I agree or disagree with it, just that I saw it, and it was not too far out there). Depending on the subject different strategies work differently; but by in large logos is what gets to me most. If I can see the logic in something weather I agree or not I am more likely to listen with an open mind, and this piece did an excellent job of that. I think that the article could use more ethos, and kairos that would help its cause. I think they also use pathos, and in this type of article, I think that those are the two best strategies to use. I liked the article because it made me think about it logically, and feel passionate about it.
