In the beginning of chapter 13 it talks about logos working well as a defense because you can't check all the facts of an argument. It talks about that logos means more than logic. The greeks applied logos to logic, conversation, and all the words and strategies that go into an argument. You can also apply values and attitudes to a particular problem. We did an activity over deductive and inductive logic. We can include these aspects into our WP #3 to make our papers better. We can also have a premise which is a fact or commonplace. In the chapter it says the premise is the proof and the deductive logic starts with a general premise and works toward a specific fact. It says every logical argument has a proof and a conclusion. The conclusion is a choice that you want the audience to make.
I do agree with you on how if we include what we learned in chapter 13 into our WP #3 paper that it would make our papers better. I think including what we learned about with inductive and deductive logic, our main point in our essays would be a lot more clear and organized.
ReplyDeleteI think Logos is probably one of the most important types of appeal, even though Pathos is important to connect with readers. When you're trying to make a point, having factual evidence is crucial to persuading an audience. Logos is what helped me choose sides when writing my paper, because people can have an opinion on who and what is better, but unless you have logic to back up your opinion, you won't persuade anyone.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I believe that Logos is the most persuasive type of appeal. It provides the audience with strong facts and always seems to be convincing. Also, I agree that incorporating the concepts of inductive and deductive in our future papers will definitely help improve them.
