Persuasive Speech

a speech that is given with the intention of convincing the audience to believe or do something. This could be virtually anything—voting, organ donation, recycling, and so on.

A successful persuasive speech effectively convinces the audience of your point of view, provided you come across as trustworthy and knowledgeable about the topic you’re discussing.

So, how do you start convincing a group of strangers to share your opinion? And how do you connect with them enough to earn their trust?

Remember the three main approaches to persuading others?

There are three main approaches used to persuade others:

• Ethos: appeals to authority or credibility

• Pathos: appeals to emotion by citing tragedy or sadness

• Logos: appeals to facts and reason

A Greek word meaning “character” is a rhetorical or written technique that appeals to an audience's or reader's ethics. Authors achieve ethos in their writing by demonstrating that they are trustworthy sources of accurate information.

Ethos

to persuade an audience by purposely evoking certain emotions to make them feel the way the author wants them to feel

Pathos

to appeal to the audience's sense of reason or logic. To use logos, the author makes clear, logical connections between ideas and includes the use of facts and statistics. Using historical and literal analogies to make a logical argument is another strategy.

Logos

It highlights the credibility and trustworthiness of your argument, which can help you persuade your audience to buy your product or service.
Example: As a three-time Olympic gold medalist, I can assure you that this energy drink will improve your fitness and stamina

Ethos

Multiple Choice

Ethos is an appeal to

• Logic

• Credibility

• Emotion

In literature, pathos is an effective literary device rather than a rhetorical one. It can establish tone or mood, and it makes audiences feel sympathetic toward different types of characters. Writers can make readers feel happy, sad, angry, passionate, or miserable with their word choice and plot development.
Example: A boyfriend begs his girlfriend to stay with him, claiming, "If you really love me, you'll give me time to change my ways."

A teenager tries to convince his parents to buy him a new car by saying if they cared about their child's safety, they'd upgrade him.

When logos is used in an argument, that means you are using facts, like data or statistics, or common sense to make your argument known. For example:

Echo is a dog. All dogs wag their tag. Echo wags his tail.

“All men are mortal. Socrates is a man. Therefore, Socrates is mortal.”
