Explanation

          In my post called "We're the Same" I mainly only used pathos the "emotional appeal" I choose to do this because in matter of Gay Marriage I believe it would be better to appeal to people heart to heart. I did also bring in the use of history which could be seen as using "logos" which is the "logical appeal". This part shows the progression of human beings within recent amount of years, how we can change and are willing to do that.
         I think that when making an argument on a blog the best type of argument that can be used is that of "emotional appeals" I believe this because a blog seems more like a causal place. Most blogs seem to be about a causal interaction between the writer (the blogger) and the reader. This isn't mean tot feel like I was reading an essay or even an article which I can find online. This is a place for an easy interaction between the blogger and the many readers. I think that bringing in smaller examples of "logos" of the logical appeal would be beneficial but used too much and the reader maybe become disinterested. Another important piece that a blogger could use would be "ethos" which is showing their credibility. The idea of using yourself as a creditable source is a good idea and mixing it with personal experience I believe would relate to the reader better.

  1. Good insight into how the medium of blogging helps shape a persuasive post. Yes, the history does lends itself towards reasoning (logos). Good idea to focus on pathos to sway readers.
