Notes From Today's Lecture

Notes:
Ways that authors/speakers connect
ethos- credibility (verbal/non-verbal)
pathos- passion/emotion
logos- logical reasoning
fallacy- an error (slippery slope)

MLK:
-allusion to Lincoln "four-score" "emancipation proc." // "life, liberty,,..." (logos)
-well dressed, great posture, strong voice (ethos)
-"withering injustice" lots of audience (African Americans) didn't have access to education yet used sophisticated English
-"confirmed and exiled in his own land" "an island of poverty"
-"we refuse to believe that the Bank of justice is bankrupt"(logos: people understand money)
-"now is the time" repetition but of motivation
- "my people"
- wanted peaceful protests "the pen is mightier than the sword"
-"we can not/never be satisfied" repetition
-MLK is a man of color so he has faced the hardships that all the African American community has felt (ethos)
-

All these examples from MLK's speech all show different forms of ethos, pathos, logos to help us connect better as listeners.
