- Pathos
- I'm so sorry I didn't do my homework! My Grandma just died and my family and I have been having a really tough time getting through it... Can I please get an extension on the project?
- I am so sorry for your loss... No worries dear, I understand your feelings. You may have until next Tuesday. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you!
- Pathos is a way to appeal to someone using emotions and passion to persuade them to attain a given goal. In this example, the young girl convinces her teacher to give an extension on her project by guiling her and forcing her to have sympathy for her, as she explains that she has just lost her grandma.

- Ethos
- I am Albert Einstein, and I have one of the world's highest IQs. I have just discovered that E = mc2! This should be added to everyone's science textbooks.
- Yes, we definitely should! He seems smart and credible.
- Ethos is a way to appeal to someone using character and credibility to persuade them to attain a given goal. In this example, Albert Einstein convinces these two scientists of the credibility of his formula by emphasizing his incredibly high IQ to ensure that they believe that he is a trustworthy source to attain information.

- Logos
- 2+2=9!
- No Timmy, 2+2 does not equal 9, because if I have 2 apples and you have 2 apples when we put them together we would have 4 apples, not 9 apples. 2+2=4. It is a fact. Do you understand now?
- Logos is a way to appeal to someone using logical evidence and sound reasoning to persuade them to attain a given goal. In this example, the teacher corrects her student by providing facts about math that are proven around the word, and she justifies her statement by providing her example/evidence of a real-life scenario in which this is true.
