An Example of Each Appeal: Ethos, Logos, and Pathos

Ethos

An example of someone having a good ethos would be one like Bill Gates. If he had to say a keynote address at a computer conference, the audience would expect good language or not to understand a single word about to be said to them. They would also probably believe what he has to say for he has a lot of money.

Logos


An example of logos would be Socrates' Apology. He states that he has not done anything wrong and supports his defense by telling his accusers that his actions were actually beneficial and adds a little bit of mocking towards them through irony and deceptive words.

Pathos

An example of pathos would be when a company wants to advertise products, they want their customers to evoke feelings in order for them to want the product. They use a mass amount of adjectives or pleasing words to connect with the customer.
