In my English, we started talking about Martin Luther King Jr. and and how he gave his speech in Washington. We started talking about him because here in the US we get the day off school. My teacher wanted us to know what was so great about the speech he gave. How the way he spoke was related to what we were going to start learning about. He said, that were going to talk about ethos, pathos, and logos. I learned about these terms in my classes before. I just forgot what they meant so he went over because he asked the whole class if they knew but no one really told he what it meant. So he assumed that no one knew but to be honest I had no idea. I was relief that he told us. Here are the definitions. He wanted us to watch listen speech to that MLK gave and being about to give examples, if gave he said anything that could be used as ethos, pathos, and logos.
Ethos
-qualities of a speaker/writer that we can trust
MLK's speech
He talked about the black people not getting the rights they have. He wants his children to be able to play, talk, use the same bathroom as whites, and have a class with them. He doesn't want his children to grow up in a place that have so much racial discrimination.
Pathos
-quality of emotion
MLK's speech
He spoke for so many blacks and spoke from his experience. Fighting for equally.
Logos
-It about having a reason and evidence to back it up
MLK's speech
He talked about constitution that gives right to every man to be treated equally. What he seen so far is that all the blacks are getting mistreated.
