    Persuasion of the masses can be an exceedingly effective means of protest, engendering persuasive writings to be immensely powerful tools. However, there are a variety of ways to express a viewpoint, which leads to these types of writings containing an array of similarities and differences. For instance, in their respective passages, Susan B. Anthony and Chief Joseph both use persuasion to attempt to sway readers to convert to their views. Anthony's and Joseph's passages are similar in many aspects, such as their use of pathos to induce audiences and their use of persuasion in defense of themselves and others; however, they differ in many ways as well, including their tone and their usage of the other rhetorical appeals: logos and ethos.…

Analysis is the process of breaking the whole concept into smaller pieces and then examining how these parts fit together into one compelling idea.

    The viewpoints held by persuasive writers are often different from each other’s, sometimes even polar opposites, but the one thing all persuasive writing has in common is the use of rhetorical appeals.

However, overuse of certain appeals can lead to an unreliable argument. Logos is the most reliable, as logos depends on facts, but information may still be twisted. Ethos deals with the credibility of the author, publisher, or a source from the writing, but sometimes credentials can blind readers; just because someone is an expert in a subject does not mean he or she is infallible.…
