Chapter 4 of Thank You for Arguing
In this chapter of Thank You for Arguing the author states that Aristotle says there are 3 elements to persuading. Those are character which is ethos, logic by logos, and emotion by pathos. He then goes into a story about how George Heinrichs when he was a kid, he wanted to wear shorts in the winter time, and he used logos and ethos to convince not to. He eventually comes to a compromise to let him wear shorts to school but with pants over them.
Yes I thought this was very interesting that he used those two to convince not too but then actually gets to wear them but just with pants over.
