Review the excerpt from Patrick Henry's "St. John's Church" speech: No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the House. But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen if, entertaining as I do, opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve. This is no time for ceremony. The question before the House is one of awful moment to this country. For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country and of an act of disloyalty toward the majesty of heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings. Why does Henry MOST LIKELY mention the patriotism and abilities of his audience? He is using logos to appeal to his audience's understanding. He is using ethos to gain his audience's trust. He is using pathos to connect to his audience's emotions. He is using athos to establish his argument.

In both Common Sense and The Crisis, No. 1, Thomas Paine uses powerful persuasive appeals to make his arguments. Discuss Paine's use of two of the three rhetorical appeals. In other words, choose two prompts below and give specific answers/explanations from one or both of Paine's essays. Logos is a logical appeal supported by facts and evidence. The focus is on the argument itself. What logical or factual appeals does Paine make in his essays? In other words, what arguments would make sense to his audience? Ethos is an ethical appeal based on the credibility of the writer. In what way does Paine establish his credibility (his knowledge and/or his trustworthiness) with his audience? Pathos is an emotional appeal. What emotions does Paine bring forth in his readers? How does he do so?
