He reveals the truth about the slaughterhouses describing the inhumane treatment of the animals and the hazardous conditions that the workers face. Many of the workers have shared their experience at the slaughterhouse with Schlosser.

This quote gives Schlosser’s argument more credibility because it is coming from an employee who has had an experience

Yes, Hochswender’s essay pleads and appeals to the reader’s logos, pathos, and ethos. The writer immediately jolts at the reader’s feelings and thoughts with statements, for example, “Does that mean I’m a bad person?” (Muller & Wiener 2009 p. 154). Who likes being a bad person? Most people do not! In agreement with your discussion, from the get-go the essay initiates persuasion by using emotional innuendoes that logically affect any thought pattern. The essay also offers a great balance in suitable content that has the reader analyze his/her logical thinking (logos) then moves on to mandate attention with statements that are heartfelt (pathos), and finally pounders checking on what a person truly believes (ethos) is most important.

Practical wisdom is the second most important aspect to ethos. Practical wisdom entails the sort of common sense that can get things done. In Chapter Seven, Heinrich mentions that sharing values is not enough to persuade an audience as what is shown with Otto, in the Animal Farm when he fails to persuade his friends. Instead one must present practical wisdom and convince people that you are worth following. Heinrich says that showing experience, bending the rules and taking the middle course are tactics that you can utilize to appear to have practical wisdom and gain trust of your audience. The goal is make the listener, or reader trust you so they will be open to your ideas under the guise of believing that you will use your personal experiences
