Mark the text for ETHOS, PATHOS, and LOGOS.

• Logical Appeals (Cause and Effect, Analogy)
• Emotional Appeals (Feel happy, sad, scared, angry, sympathy, etc.)
• Appeals to Authority (Cite "morals" or higher power (God?) or even use words, titles, past experiences to make themselves seem WORTH LISTENING TO on the subject.)
