Paragraph 3 of Silent Spring.
Carson’s first paragraph is largely descriptive and emotional (pathos). By paragraph 3 she shifts to scientific explanation and cause-effect reasoning about pesticides, citing evidence and logical consequences — a clear appeal to logos. The paragraphs in “A Case for Waawaatesi” rely more on anecdote and values (ethos/pathos) than on the kind of factual, analytical argument Carson uses in paragraph 3.
