How To Persuade Those Who Read Your Essays

An essay is a document in which an author expresses his or her views on a particular subject. Because of this, essays tend to be documents in which you will want to persuade a reader to share your point of view.

Being able to successfully do this will make the difference between a good essay and a great essay. There are three basic methods you can use to persuade your readers, and they were written down in ancient Greece by Aristotle. These three methods are called pathos, logos, and ethos.

Ethos is the root word for ethics. Ethos is used to describe the attributes of a character to an audience. Aristotle believed that the character would be respected if the audience believed they had good ethics. It should also be noted that this also applies to people who are experts or authorities in a specific field. If you are reading this, you may be wondering what it has to do with writing a good essay. The audience is the people who will be reading your essay. You are the character. To succeed with your audience, you will need to convey a sense of strong ethics or authority. You will need to be an expert in what you write about.

For example, if you are writing an essay about pythons, you will want to take the time to do your research. After you’ve have thoroughly researched the subject, you can write an essay which will give your readers the impression that you are an authority on the subject. Having good ethics is an important part of writing a good essay. This is what the term ethos signifies. The ethos of a writer will be created by their style of writing. Many people have problems writing essays because they often have to write on subjects they are not familiar with.

The term logos can be translated into "logical arguments." In our world of today, logic is extremely important. If you want to persuade your readers to share your point of view, you must use logic to convince them. The word logos does not necessarily mean scientific logic. It is a type of logic that can be grasped by the common man. Creating formal arguments to support your way of thinking can lead to you writing an excellent essay. The mistake made by many people writing essays is that they make arguments based on assumptions rather than logic. To successfully argue your point, you must base your essay on logic. Basing your arguments on assumptions can lead to disaster. It can also destroy your credibility.

The third method is called pathos, and deals with the emotions of the audience. While many people think that they always make rational decisions, this isn’t always the case. Often, our decisions are made on emotion rather than logic. Certain emotions such as fear and anger can make us think in ways which are very emotional. To write a good essay, you must be able to reach your audience on a logical and emotional level. Many successful companies advertise their products by tapping into the insecurity of their customers. To appeal to an audience on an emotional level, there are three things you will need to do.

You wil first need to know who your essay is being written for. By knowing your audience, you can tap into their emotions. The best writers in history are those who reached their readers on an emotional level. If you want to persuade those who read your essay, it is crucial that you master ethos, lagos, and pathos. It is these three timeless concepts that have successfully be used many times throughout history. If you are a college student writing an essay, it is likely that you may have to argue a point in your document. Even if your instructor doesn’t agree with your views, they will grade you based on your ability to present the argument and appeal to those that read it.

Writing a good essay is something that will take time. You will need to constantly practice to get better at it. If you are writing an essay for your college class, you will not want to wait until the last minute to complete it. A good essay takes time to write, and it isn’t uncommon for students to take weeks to put together the perfect essay.
