Burton Hillis’s quote reminds me of how persuasive appeals are used in our everyday life, especially in advertising. Many arguments sound convincing at first but lack real substance when examined closely. For example, I recently saw an ad that claimed a product was “doctor-recommended,” but it didn’t specify which doctors or provide any evidence. This is an example of a reason that sounds good but may not be truly reliable.
If I were giving a persuasive speech, I would use ethos, pathos, and logos the three classical elements of persuasion. Ethos (credibility) would help establish my trustworthiness by using reputable sources and personal experience. Pathos (emotional appeal) would make the audience connect with the topic on a deeper level, which often makes arguments more convincing. Logos (logic and reasoning) would provide solid facts to support my points.
I believe these elements work well because people are more likely to be persuaded when they trust the speaker, feel emotionally connected to the message, and view logical reasons to agree. A combination of all three ensures that my argument is both sound and impactful.

Sharece, you’ve made a great observation about the use of persuasive appeals in advertising and everyday communication. The example you shared about the "doctor-recommended" claim highlights how superficial promises can sometimes mislead consumers if they're not backed by solid evidence.
In crafting a persuasive speech, your focus on ethos, pathos, and logos is essential. Establishing credibility through reliable sources not only builds trust but also strengthens your message. Emotional appeals can engage the audience on a personal level, making your points resonate more deeply. Finally, using logical reasoning solidifies your arguments and helps maintain the attention of your audience.
Integrating these three elements effectively can create a compelling narrative that persuades and informs, allowing your arguments to truly stand out. Your approach seems well-rounded and thoughtful!
