The tone was to inform and through the use of studies and a formal, yet sympathetic tone they achieved that goal. That is one literary device that was shown.…

    A major example that indicates his effective use of logos is when he refers to how newspapers talk about kingpins being captured, how many drugs were seized or how many people died. At first it seems as if he is making a pathos appeal because of the sensitivity of the topics, but then he segues straight back into logic saying “Apparently we’re to take from this the idea that we’re going to ‘win’ the war on drugs…Apple didn’t disappear after Steve Jobs died.

He’s referring to ending violence and death with a logical solution, which makes the example influential to the audience. The fact that there are so many logical explanations involved, leaving the audience an impression on how knowledgeable Carden is.…
