1. Ethos: As a student who has been looking forward to prom night for months, I understand the disappointment we are all feeling. (I have used ethos by establishing my credibility as a student who is directly affected by the cancellation of prom, giving me a personal stake in the decision.)
2. Pathos: Imagine how devastated we will all be if we miss out on the chance to create memories with our friends and classmates at prom. This event is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that we will never get back. (I have used pathos by appealing to the emotions of the principal, asking them to empathize with the students' feelings of disappointment and emphasizing the significance of prom as a memorable event.)
3. Logos: By hosting a modified or virtual prom event, we can still adhere to safety guidelines while allowing students to celebrate this important milestone. It is possible to find a compromise that prioritizes both our health and our happiness. (I have used logos by presenting a logical solution to the problem, suggesting a practical alternative that balances the need for safety with the desire to have a prom event.)
