Logos, Pathos, Ethos

 In class today we learned about logos, pathos, and ethos which are rhetorical appeals to arguments. This lesson led to Mr. Rease giving us the challenge of presenting an argument for having a free day on Friday using the rhetorical appeals. My argument is:

I believe the class should have the option of free day on Friday. According to studies, students can only work at their full potential when they're able to have breaks. As a student myself, I have a hard time constantly working throughout the day with only having a break at lunch. Getting to have a free day on Friday will help students take a break or catch up on work.
