Reread these lines from the speech:

And let's dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago: to tame the savageness of man and

make gentle the life of this world. Let us dedicate ourselves to that, and say a prayer for our country and for our people.

Which rhetorical appeal BEST fits this paragraph?

pathos

rhetros

logos

ethos

D) Ethos

Explanation:

These lines are from J. F. Kennedy's speech announcing the assassination of Martin Luther King. In these lines J. F. Kennedy is making an appeal to audience's ethics. The ethics are a community's or society's guiding beliefs. The sentence,"to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world. Let us dedicate ourselves to that" is making an appeal to audience's ethics.

Pathos are appeals to emotions, while logos is appeal to reasoning/logic.

There is no such word as "rhetros" to mean any appeal to something in a speech.
