You should use the Rhetorical Triangle method

The Rhetorical Triangle is a tool that helps you to get your thoughts in order and present a clear position.

Explanation:

The three points on the Rhetorical Triangle relate directly to the three classic appeals you should consider when communicating:

Ethos: building trust by establishing your credibility and authority (Writer).

Pathos: appealing to emotion by connecting with your audience through their values and interests (Audience).

Logos: appealing to your audience's intelligence with well-constructed and clearly argued ideas

Ethos (Writer)

Your audience might be wary that you're trying to change their opinions or beliefs. If you don't make it clear why you are addressing them, some people might assume that you are hiding something.

Pathos (Audience)

When you communicate, you need to understand your audience and appeal to their emotions. This is known as pathos.Knowing your audience helps you to avoid alienating them by using technical terms or jargon that they may not understand, or by "dumbing down" the content, if your message is intended for professionals.

Logos (Context)

Finally, your audience will analyze your message by putting it into context. Here the emphasis is on logic and reason, or logos (pronounced log-oss).Your audience will likely consider the background to your communication, and the circumstances or events that preceded it. They'll analyze the kinds of arguments you used, their relevance, and whether you delivered them in a clear, coherent and appropriate way.Your audience must be able to follow what you are saying for it to be believable. They'll be looking for a logical, well-constructed argument, and evidence for any claims that you make. They'll also be thinking about any possible counterarguments.

1. the details that would clarify the authors purpose for writing would be after the "haley collected used soccer jersey and sent them to guatemalan children." part, he would say, "and you can also donate today to save ". so far in the text, you can see no such thing. if, near the end the author persuades you to donate to guatemalans, then you know that the author's reason to write is to persuade you.

2. what details would make the text more engaging is to see the guatemalan children's reaction to getting free jerseys.

3. the details that convey the author's attitude would be an opinion by the author, for example, if he said, "haley was a very nice girl " or, you can find the attitude by finding parts of haley's personality that he highlights. you can strengthen your tones by using more descriptive words, and simplify long sentences as much as you can.

you're welcome ; p
