    • Logos
      • Appeals to the readers logic

      • How it is used in persuasive writing
        • Makes the reader think "that's plausable"
        • Backs up facts with statistics, making the argument seem more convincing
    • Pathos
      • Appeals to the readers emotions
      • Examples include anecdotes, emotive language, metaphors and similes
      • How it is used in persuasive writing
        • Used to emotionally engage the reader
        • Makes the argument seem more personal, so people are more likely to side with your point of view
    • Ethos
      • Appeals to the readers ethics
      • Examples include quotes from experts, facts and statistics
      • How it is used in persuasive writing
        • Makes your arguments seem credible
        • If quoting an expert, it makes the argument seem more reliable

A logo is a mark or sign used to identify something. There are many different types of logos. One type is a brand logo. A brand logo is designed to represent a company's product or service. Another type of logo is a trademark. A trademark is similar to a brand logo but identifies a specific person rather than a business. A third type of logo is a servicemark. A servicemark is a logo that represents a company's services.

It is a great invention. I am able to communicate with people from all over the world without the help of words. I feel like I have found my true purpose in life now that I am able to communicate with others. Language devices are useful for any child who is learning a new language. I usually hire writer to take assignment help for exceptional content. This can be used as a tool to help children learn how to read and write, as well as just talk.
