Today I read Letizia’s response in which she identified a couple of examples using ethos. She mentioned JK Rowling using humor and personal experience to provide the audience with a sense of credibility. She also used Pope Francis and his humility as one of the many examples of his credibility. I have not fully developed my ideas but so far Letizia and I have been able to identify the same use of ethos.
The differences and things I liked in Letizia’s response:
- she notes how it is possible to spread credibility by connecting personal experience
- she also notes that humor can be used as well as statistic evidence
- she explains writing an essay as sharing your thoughts as well as sending signals of your trustworthiness which i thought was an interesting perspective
