All authors, at varying levels, write with purpose. Ever written work has a purpose, varying from artistic creativity to academic and professional curiosity. Although the purpose is evident to the author, the reader may find difficulty determining what that purpose is.

One can use the three rhetorical appeals of logos, pathos, and ethos to determine the purpose of the CDC’s document, and give one’s self insight into the audience for which it is intended.

This also is based on pathos because it's all about emotion and the tragic event. For example “Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, know that there is no hope for their recovery.” this appeals to Logos because there wasn't a way to get them back.

However, in order to get a person to stop what they’re doing and focus in on the message that’s trying to be conveyed, the person needs to relate to their specified audience.

the least ineffective rhetorical appeal is "logos"although there may be some logic in saying hi to a person when you see them most people do not say hello back to you. When i was younger i said hello to everyone i meet but there were always people that did not respond back. The reason why they did not respond back is because they didn't care or were not feeling to well to say hi. Most people say hi to send back the generosity of someone greeting them, others don't and just leave and smash your generosity on the ground. pathos is the main rhetorical appeal therefor other people use "hello" in everyday conversations.

Pathos is presented in the opening of “ A New Perspective” written by Janice E. Fein when the narrator talks about going to kindergarten.

Dodge tried to persuade the viewer showing that their truck can withstand the daily vigorous job duties a farmer can endures.
