The author’s
choices and
strategies,
including visual
design, that contributes to the
text’s ethos,
pathos, and logos
|
The author's visual selections, such as photographs and links to TED Video, have really aided me in imagining his or her point of view. Its ethos was improved by the author and the publication location. The concept of loneliness served as a fantastic illustration of logos. The audience was taken aback by the happy couple's pathos.
|
For example, Waldinger's speech was quite supportive of the author's selections, as well as having an interesting visual appearance for me. Liz Mineo, who has been a staff writer for almost 5 years, is a well-known article author. Furthermore, as one of the top universities, Harvard University attracts a lot of attention from professionals and students. It occasionally covers international issues as well. Good connections can preserve our bodies, but loneliness, like smoking and drinking, is extremely powerful. Initially, researchers believed that blood cholesterol levels were the most important factor in determining life expectancy, but couples who had excellent relationships in their 50s were the healthiest in their 80s.
