Dress Code Wars: Stop Telling Boys That They're Distracted is exactly what the title announces. Boys are having a hard time with the dress code just as much as girls.

Overall, Baker uses pathos throughout his article to help persuade his readers. In a book called Models for Writers: Short Essays for Composition, the authors state, “Pathos (Greek for “emotion”) has most to do with audience” (Rosa and Eschholz 552).

The author explains, “But I’m a guy, raising a houseful of little guys, and so my thinking isn’t particularly complicated” (Baker). This example relates the readers to
In the article “War Against Boys?”, I noticed two common and reappearing rhetorical appeals, pathos and logos. The reason I chose both of these appeals is because of how Michael Kimmel thinks about how gender inequality affects boys and how this is affecting boys education in lower and higher institutions. Pathos played a huge part in this essay because of the emotional and mental impact on boys through discrimination from the school system. One example of pathos being shown is when feminism was

are many inequalities in how girls and boys are treated and raised. Author, Laura Bates, wrote “A Thank You to Taylor Swift,” published in 2017 in The New York Times and she argues that girls are raised and treated different than boys and that women should not have to suffer in silence while boys reign all power. Bates is a feminist and has the British Empire medal in gender equality. The author begins growing her credibility by using Taylor Swift as a prime example of these issues, using research
AC can not keep up, most boys walk through the halls with shorts and cut-off tank tops. Girls, we wear long pants such as, jeans or leggings, “Why?”, you ask, Why would one ever want to wear that? Unfortunately, It is not a choice for us. Girls face the question when deciding to wear shorts, “Are these long enough, am I going to get in trouble?” Despite the warm temperatures outside and inside girls can not wear what they want, because it shows too much of their bodies. Boys? Can wear their cut-offs

It prevents them from reaching their true potential in their lives because this repressive bubble that has been created around them and their genders.

Ethos, pathos, and logos! They are the three persuasive appeals that a writer utilizes to effectively convince an audience. These persuasive appeals can be found in Malala’s Yousafzai speech, The Sealand Lady’s speech, and in Mr. Turk’s video “Look Up”. In Malala Yousafzai’s speech at the UN Youth Takeover she utilizes ethos, pathos, and logos very effectively. Firstly, Ms. Yousafzai’s uses strong and compelling statements that strengthens her credibility. Some of these statements include
