  3. Ethos Has to do with convincing the audience that the writer or speaker is a good person with strong ethics. • Though the town does not agree with this case, the town generally respects Atticus as a lawyer. • He is known for being dedicated to truth and justice. • He is also one of the most educated people in Maycomb.

  4. Logos • Is an appeal to the audience’s logic or intellect. • Ex. “The State has not produced one iota of medical evidence that the crime Tom Robinson is charged with ever took place.” • Atticus ask the jury to logically consider that there is no medical evidence to confirm there was a rape. A doctor was never called.

  5. Pathos • Is an appeal to the audience’s emotions. • Ex. “…restore this man to his family.” • These are family men. Atticus is asking them to consider

  6. Your Mission • With your partner, read through the closing argument again. • Atticus wants to convince the jury bring back a verdict of not guilty. • Identify one appeal to logos (the intellect of the jury) • Identify one appeal to pathos (the emotions of the jury)

  9. Final Thought • Atticus states, “This case is as simple as black and white.” • What does Atticus mean? • How do you interpret this statement?
