Ethos, Logos, and Pathos

Presidential candidate, Barack Obama, uses ethos in his speeches because he wants to show he is intelligent, experienced, and honest. He wants to show that he is the best option for president.
When Barack Obama brings up John McCain’s ideas he is using logos. He describes the positive promises McCain has and why they may be beneficial to us. He then finds faults in them and tells why his ideas are better for our country.
Barack Obama’s main message is that he will bring the change our country needs. This is an example of pathos because it applies to millions of Americans who are struggling and want more opportunities.
