Reflections on deforestation, wildlife eviction, and stewardship behavior” they use different
conventions. Ethos, pathos, and logos are some of the being used to help the brazilian amazon
rainforest.
They use ethos in the second paragraph to make the readers trust them. They say they
got their information from a trusted source which is the National Institute for Space Research.
In the last section of paragraph three they use pathos to make the readers feel strong
emotions. These changes we are causing to the rainforest are not only affecting us but also the
poor vulnerable animals we are destroying their home and killing them off. By making the people
think of the animals which are being affected this pushes them to try to stop the problem.
Logos is being used in the second paragraph. They make it known that these changes
happening to the rainforest also greatly affect us so we should be more involved in ways
to stop it. They use logic to make people understand what will happen. Even though we
might not see the effects in our lives it doesn't mean that it's not going to affect us.
In conclusion, the author of this article uses rhetorical appeals to persuade the
readers into doing something about the deforestation happening in the Amazon
rainforest. They establish their credibility with the National Institute for Space Research.
They also show what is actually happening in the forest and how it's getting progressively
worse.
